A new Quinnipiac Poll released Tuesday has Clinton barely beating Trump in Pennsylvania 43 to 42 percent while Sanders would beat Trump by 6 percentage points— 47 to 41 percent.
"This election may be good for divorce lawyers. The gender gap is massive and currently benefits Trump," Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac Poll. "In Pennsylvania, Clinton's 19-point lead among women matches Trump's 21-point margin among men.”
Clinton edges Trump 43 - 36 percent among voters 18 to 34 years old, while Trump has a slim 49 - 42 percent lead among voters over 65 years old.
Clinton and Trump both have negative favorability ratings, 37 - 58 percent for her and 39 - 55 percent for him.

"Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are locked in Pennsylvania and they have similar, awful numbers on honesty and favorability," said Tim Malloy, assistant Director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. "The one glaring difference: Trump is crushed on the question of which candidate has the temperament and personality to handle an international crisis. It's a vote of confidence the Clinton camp can dine out on and Trump supporters have to see as a red flag."
