In Pennsylvania, Trump lags 11 points behind Clinton in a Franklin and Marshall poll. In a Detroit News poll of Michigan, Trump trails Clinton by 9 points.
To make matters even worse for Trump in Michigan — a state Trump's team sees as key to winning — 60 percent of voters reported they don't think the Republican nominee is qualified to be president.
