A new poll says Hillary Clinton is shellacking Donald Trump by double digits in Pennsylvania, one of the states the billionaire businessman is hoping to win in order to narrowly win the November election.
A Franklin and Marshall College poll showed Clinton up 11 percentage points on Trump, 49-38, among likely Pennsylvania voters.
The conventions appear to have played a big role in shaping the minds of Keystone State voters. Sixty-two percent of respondents who watched the Democratic convention said they were more likely to vote for Clinton as a result, while just 40 percent of those who saw the Republican convention said the same about Trump.
And the GOP nominee's lagging poll numbers may be dragging down Republican candidates elsewhere on the ballot in Pennsylvania. Incumbent GOP Sen. Pat Toomey trailed Democratic challenger Katie McGinty by 1 point, 39-38, among respondents surveyed.
The Franklin and Marshall College surveyed 661 registered voters, including 389 likely voters, from July 29-August 1 over the phone and online. The poll had a 4.8 percentage point margin of error among registered voters, and a 6.3 percentage point margin of error among likely voters.
