Donald Trump has fallen far behind Hillary Clinton in the swing states of New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, new polls out Thursday morning revealed.
In New Hampshire, where the two were virtually tied just three months ago, Clinton now leads by 15 points, pulling 47 percent to Trump's 32 percent in the latest WBUR poll. 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.
