Ohio Penn, and Michigan - tight poll numbers (http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-08-29/u-s-election-wrap-clinton-weaknesses-spotlighted-in-new-poll-isgl7jgb)
The race for president is tied in Ohio, Clinton +3 in Penn., and Clinton +5 in Michigan.
Polling by Boston-based Emerson College has returned from its summer hiatus, and its surveys (http://www.theecps.com/) of three key states—while confirming Hillary Clinton’s edge in the presidential race—underscore the obstacles she faces.
She and Donald Trump are tied in Ohio at 43%, no surprise given that the state is a perennial battleground
Clinton has a slight edge in Pennsylvania, 46%-43%, giving credence to Trump’s focus on that state as a potential cornerstone to his White House bid
Most surprising is Clinton’s relatively slim lead—45%-40%—in Michigan, which at this stage in the last two presidential campaigns had ceased to be competitive
The three states together total 54 electoral votes; support from independents is fueling Trump in two of them
The article discusses more numbers like independents and the young vote.
