"Let's face it: Pennsylvania likely voters are not exactly enthralled with either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. "Trump, who portrays himself as a job creator, is suddenly paddling upstream in a state that needs jobs. That has to be a red flag.
"There also is a gender gap as Clinton wins by 23 points among women, while Trump wins by 5 points among men."
Keystone State women back Clinton 59 - 36 percent, while men back Trump 49 - 44 percent. Republicans back Trump 83 - 14 percent, while Clinton leads 92 - 5 percent among Democrats.
Independent voters are divided with 48 percent for Clinton and 44 percent for Trump.
White voters are divided with 49 percent for Trump and 46 percent for Clinton. Non-white voters go to Clinton 81 - 8 percent.
