Although Trump is up in Ohio, the pundits think that Trump will need to carry all these states in order to have a chance for being elected.
"After a two-year campaign which has produced the most unpopular presidential candidates in American history, the election comes down - as it historically does - to a handful of swing states," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
No one has been elected president since 1960 without carrying two of the key swing states, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. And, this year, North Carolina has been added to the mix. All four of these key states remain close entering the final days," Brown added.
"Florida, which has the largest cache of electoral votes, is a virtual tie and North Carolina is almost as close."
In head to head matchup among likely voters:
- Florida: Clinton at 47 percent to Trump's 45 percent;
- North Carolina: Clinton at 48 percent to Trump's 46 percent;
- Ohio: Trump at 47 percent to Clinton's 44 percent;
- Pennsylvania: Clinton at 50% to Trump's 44 percent.
