Trump support crumbles in Rust Belt swing states
ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. — Donald Trump is blowing his chance to remake the political map, having squandered leads in this key swing state and slumped in the other Rust Belt states he promised he would swing Republican.
Nowhere is that more obvious than in Pennsylvania, which the billionaire businessman vowed to put into play this year but where voters are recoiling from the man and his mouth.
“I was all for Trump at first, but the things he says, the look on his face — I can’t trust him to have his finger on the [nuclear] button,” said Sam Hess, 74, a registered Republican who, despite strongly agreeing with Mr. Trump on immigration and guns, decided he couldn’t vote for him.
Worse yet, Mr. Trump has surrendered leads in state polling in Florida, where a Suffolk University survey Thursday put him 6 points behind and showed him falling further behind in New Hampshire, where a WBUR/MassInc survey gave Mrs. Clinton a 17-point lead.
In Michigan, he is down 9 points, according to a Detroit News poll. And in Pennsylvania, a Franklin & Marshall survey showed him trailing Mrs. Clinton by a staggering 11 percentage points.
