Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump in four of the most diverse presidential battleground states, according to brand-new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls.

Clinton is ahead of Trump by eight points among registered voters in Colorado, 43 percent to 35 percent; a combined 21 percent say neither, other or are undecided.

In Florida, which decided the 2000 presidential election, she's up seven points, 44 percent to 37 percent; the rest are undecided or prefer someone else.

In North Carolina, a state Obama won in 2008 but lost in 2012, Clinton leads by six points, 44 percent to 38 percent.

And in Virginia, Clinton's advantage is nine points, 44 percent to 35 percent. ...................

1. I got pretty twisted up about some of the polls earlier this week

Thanks

4. I try to look at trends

and not get too worked up over a few poles. Sometimes it works.

11. It happens to the best of us...

I find myself doing it a few times during an election season. But that's why we have each other on DU!

2. Curious title. I wonder which "not diverse enough" states are getting the side-eye.

Can you infer from this that OH, and possibly PA, show a different result?

3. Diverse is a curious word here.

Maybe areas from different regions? Sort of.....mostly South and east.

6. I think they mean diverse as these states have lots of AA and with CO Latino

voters.

9. Looks like she's leading in ALL swing states...

... at least that's what it looks like to me for the NBC/Marist poll in RealClearPolitics.

5. Main thing is we should discount all national polls between now and after the Dem convention

Trump will get a boost next week and then Clinton should the week after that.

7. AP-GfK Poll: More people think life improves under Clinton

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans have mixed feelings on which presidential candidate will do better on health care, trade, the economy, terrorism and other important issues. But when they simply consider whether they personally would be better off, they prefer Democrat Hillary Clinton.

The latest Associated Press-GfK poll shows that Americans are more likely to think people like themselves would benefit more from a Clinton White House than one run by Republican Donald Trump, by 36 percent to 29 percent.

They also are much more likely to think women, LGBT people, Hispanics, Muslims and blacks would be better off under Clinton, while they largely think men and whites would be better off under Trump.

Miles Kafka, 43, of Brooklyn, New York, said his life would "definitely" be better under Clinton "because Donald Trump's policies are gibberish." A registered Republican who works in computer programming, he supported Gov. John Kasich, R-Ohio, in the primary.

8. What are the dates of this poll?

The NBC site doesn't seem to show it, nor does RealClearPolitics, which just takes me to the NBC site when I click on the name of the poll. Am I doing something wrong?
