Poll: Clinton leads in four swing states

(CNN)Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump in four crucial swing states, according to a new poll out Friday, good news for the Clinton campaign that has seen other surveys show the presidential race tightening in recent weeks.

The NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll finds Clinton with high single-digit leads in Colorado, Florida, North Carolina and Virginia. Clinton maintains these leads, though at slightly smaller margins, when third-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein are included.

Clinton leads Trump in Colorado 43% to 35%. Johnson performs best in this state -- he garners 12% support when included in the poll, which shrinks Clinton and Trump's support to 39% and 33%, respectively.

In Florida, Clinton also paces Trump, 44% to 37%. Clinton's lead slips to 5 points with third party candidates factored in.

Seems the Republican overreach effect is benefiting Clinton there. If Clinton beats Trump in NC he has almost no path to an EV victory.
