The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls out Friday delivered more bad news for Donald Trump. Surveys of the battleground states of Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia each revealed Hillary Clinton well ahead of Trump, with some of her winning margins even cracking double digits. "These are supposed to be battleground states, but right now, they don't look that way," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.
In Colorado, Clinton leads by 14 points — 46 percent to 32 percent — and in Virginia, she leads by 13 points — 46 percent to 33 percent. She's ahead in North Carolina by 9 points, 48 percent to 39 percent. In North Carolina, she bests Trump by 5 points, 44 percent to 39 percent.
