As is happening in battleground states across the country, Clinton’s amassing a large lead in early voting in each of these states. Among those who have already cast their ballots she’s up 52%-41% in Colorado, 57%-36% in Michigan, and 63%-32% in Virginia.
Voters in Colorado would prefer Obama 52%-44%, voters in Michigan would prefer him 52%-40%, and voters in Virginia would prefer him 53%-44%. Obama has aggressively campaigned for Clinton as the successor to his legacy, and that’s helped her greatly since voters would much rather stay on the country’s current course than take the sharp turn of direction a Trump presidency would entail.
All these states reflect the overarching theme of the campaign that Hillary Clinton is unpopular, but Donald Trump is even far more unpopular. In Colorado Clinton’s favorability is -14 at 41%/55%, but Trump’s is -24 at 36%/60%. In Michigan Clinton’s favorability is -16 at 39%/55%, but Trump’s is -23 at 35%/58%. And in Virginia Clinton’s favorability is -10 at 43%/5%3, but Trump’s is -21 at 37%/58%.
