Hillary Clinton's personal email brouhaha tarnished her image in some crucial swing states, though it has not "done huge violence to her presidential chances," according to a Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday.

In the survey, Clinton's net favorability rating slid in each of Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Still, among a slate of potential GOP challengers, only Jeb Bush topped Clinton in Florida (45 recent to 42 percent) and only Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) led her in Pennsylvania (45 percent to 44 percent.)
