Donald Trump is ahead of Hillary Clinton in the key battleground states of Ohio, Florida and Nevada, according to new polls released Wednesday.

The Republican nominee is enjoying a 5-point lead in Ohio in a new Bloomberg Politics poll. In a head-to-head matchup between Clinton and Trump, he led 48%-43%.

The margin remained the same when third-party candidates were added. Trump had 44%, Clinton had 39%, Libertarian Gary Johnson had 10% and Green Party candidate Jill Stein had 3%.

Most recent polling has shown Clinton up between 4 and 7 points in the state

The Bloomberg Politics poll was taken over some of Clinton’s most difficult days of the cycle. She said “half” of Trump’s supporters were “deplorable” Friday night, and on Sunday she wobbled as she left a 9/11 memorial, while recovering from previously undisclosed pneumonia.

In the race for Ohio's Senate seat, incumbent Sen. Rob Portman had a massive lead in the poll, with 53% compared with former Ohio governor Ted Strickland's 36%.

The poll of 802 likely voters had a margin of error of 3.5 points and was conducted Sept. 9-12.

Trump’s lead in Ohio is consistent with a CNN/ORC poll of likely voters released Wednesday which had him at 46%, Clinton at 41%. Johnson had 8% support and Stein had 2%.

The poll also had Portman with a significant lead over Strickland, 58%-37%.

The poll was conducted Sept. 7-12 and included 769 likely Ohio voters and had a margin of error of 3.5 points.

Trump was also ahead in Florida in the CNN/ORC poll — though the 3-point difference fell within the margin of error. Trump had 47% and Clinton had 44%. Johnson had 6% and Stein had 1%.

The poll also showed Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio holding a double-digit lead over his Democratic challenger Rep. Patrick Murphy, 54%-43%.

The poll was conducted Sept. 7-12. The poll included 788 likely Ohio voters and had a margin of error of 3.5 points.

And in Nevada, Trump had a 2-point lead over Clinton — also within the margin of error — in a new Monmouth University poll released Wednesday.

Trump had the support of 44% of likely voters in Nevada, while Clinton had 42%. Johnson had the backing of 8%; Stein was not included.

In July, Clinton was ahead of Trump by 4 points in the Silver State.

The Senate race in Nevada to replace Democrat Harry Reid also favored the Republican candidate, but was still within the margin of error. Rep. Joe Heck had the support of 46% of likely voters while former state attorney general Catherine Cortez Masto had 43% backing her.

The Monmouth poll was conducted Sept. 11-13, which also follows Clinton's difficult weekend. The poll included 406 likely Nevada voters and had a margin of error of 4.9 points.
