Portland, Oregon—(ENEWSPF)—September 29, 2016.  Polling commissioned by VoteVets, performed by Public Policy Polling, is showing a lead for Hillary Clinton in the presidential race in Colorado, Pennsylvania. Virginia, Florida, and North Carolina, with clear majorities saying she won the debates. Perhaps most stunningly, voters in those states overwhelmingly agree that Donald Trump would be more likely to get us into a nuclear war.

Full results of the polling, including the head-to-head numbers, can be found here:  http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2016/09/clinton-leads-in-key-battlegrounds-seen-as-big-debate-winner.html

When voters were asked which of the two candidates would be more likely to get the United States into a nuclear war, the opinion could not be clearer. The ‘best’ Trump did was to be seen as more likely by ‘only’ a 18 point margin. The results:

More Likely To Cause a Nuclear War

Colorado
Trump 51, Clinton 31

Florida
Trump 50, Clinton 32

North Carolina
Trump 51, Clinton 30

Pennsylvania
