Poll: Clinton up 4 on Trump in Florida

Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by 4 points in the must-win swing state of Florida following their first presidential debate, according to a new poll.

Clinton edges out Trump, 46 percent to 42 percent, in the Mason-Dixon Polling & Research survey released Friday.

{mosads}Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson next grabs 7 percent, while Green Party nominee Jill Stein nets 1 percent. Four percent remain undecided.

Pollsters found Clinton is viewed more favorably than Trump among the Sunshine State’s registered voters — though both are well under water.

Thirty-nine percent see Clinton favorably, contrasted with 47 percent who view the Democratic nominee unfavorably. Fourteen percent remain neutral.

Thirty-one percent consider Trump favorably, meanwhile, versus 53 percent who see the GOP’s nominee unfavorably and 16 percent who remain neutral.

Mason-Dixon Polling & Research conducted its latest sampling of 820 registered voters in Florida via cell and landline telephone interviews from Sept. 27 to 29. It has a 3.5 percentage point margin of error.

Clinton and Trump clashed in their first of three presidential debates last Monday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y.

Polls released since the contest have shown Clinton getting a modest bump in both national and state polls following her performance.

Clinton leads Trump by roughly 3 points nationwide, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls.
