While, favorability numbers for Clinton (-16) and Trump (-18) are nearly identical in Florida, Clinton is viewed more favorably than him in the other four states, in some cases by significant margins. However, except in Wisconsin−where his deficit is 30 points larger than hers−this isn’t translating into a clear lead with voters.
