In swing-state Ohio, Donald Trump has a narrow lead over Hillary Clinton in the race for president, according to a new poll released this morning.

It's the only state of the three surveyed by Quinnipiac University Polls that the Republican has the lead over the Democrat. Both Florida and Pennsylvania picked Clinton over Trump. In all three states, Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders tops Trump.

Here's a breakdown of the numbers:

Florida: Clinton 43 percent,Trump 42 percent; Sanders 44 percent, Trump 42 percent Ohio: Clinton 39 percent, Trump 43 percent; Sanders 43 percent, Trump 41 percent Pennsylania: Clinton 43 percent, Trump 42 percent; Sanders 47 percent, Trump 41 percent

"Six months from Election Day, the presidential races between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in the three most crucial states, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, are too close to call," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac Poll. "At this juncture, Trump is doing better in Pennsylvania than the GOP nominees in 2008 and 2012. And the two candidates are about where their party predecessors were at this point in Ohio and Florida."

In Ohio, Trump leads51 percent to 36 percent among men while Clinton 43 percent to 36 percent among women. Meanwhile white voters said they would vote for him 49 percent to 32 percent while non-white voters said they would vote for Clinton 76 percent to 14 percent.

"This election may be good for divorce lawyers. The gender gap is massive and currently benefits Trump," Brown added. "In Pennsylvania, Clinton's 19-point lead among women matches Trump's 21-point margin among men. In Ohio, she is up 7 points among women but down 15 points with men. In Florida she is up 13 points among women but down 13 points among men."

Other findings from the poll of Ohio voters:

They believe Trump would be better at handling the economy and terrorism. Clinton is more intelligent than Trump and narrowly beats him on having higher moral standards. Clinton also has the temperament to handle an international crisis. Both have negative favorability.

"Ohioans oppose 'The Wall' 52percent to 45 percent, while they are overwhelmingly in favor of requiring a photo ID for anyone wanting to vote," Brown said. "They are happy with the economy and satisfied with the way things are going in the state - all of which is a nice testament to Gov. John Kasich, who dropped out of the White House race last week, but might be back as Trump's running mate."

Quinnipiac�s telephone poll (land-lines and cellphones) from April 27 through Saturday involved 1,042 registered Ohio voters and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
