Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump in Virginia and Colorado, according to a pair of Fox News polls released Wednesday.

The former secretary of state tops Trump in Virginia, 44 percent to 37 percent, in a head-to-head matchup. In a four-way with former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, Clinton’s lead slides to just 5 percentage points. She tops the four-person field with 39 percent support, followed by Trump at 34 percent, Johnson at 10 percent and Stein at 4 percent.

Virginians give Clinton the edge over Trump in temperament (54 percent to 27 percent) and White House qualifications (48 percent to 30 percent), and more suggested Clinton cares about people like them (44 percent to 31 percent).

Voters in the state are split in terms of which candidate is a strong leader and which is honest and trustworthy, if any. Clinton leads the leadership category (41 percent to 39 percent), but the two are tied at 32 percent in honesty and trustworthiness (34 percent said neither are honest and trustworthy).

Clinton holds a double-digit advantage over Trump in Colorado, where she bests Trump with 44 percent support to his 34 percent head to head. Expanding the field to include Johnson and Stein, Clinton maintains a lead with 37 percent support, followed by Trump at 28 percent, Johnson at 13 percent and Stein at 6 percent.

Voters in Colorado lean to Clinton when it comes to characteristics such as temperament to serve as president (55 percent to 22 percent), qualifications (50 percent to 24 percent), leadership (43 percent to 34 percent) and caring about everyday Americans (40 percent to 29 percent). More than 4 in 10 voters believe neither candidate is honest and trustworthy, but between Clinton and Trump, the billionaire businessman edges Clinton 28 percent to 27 percent.



The Fox News polls are a positive sign for Clinton, as they come on the heels of Quinnipiac University surveys that showed Trump narrowly edging Clinton in Florida and Pennsylvania — all within the margin of error — and tied in Ohio.

The surveys of 601 registered voters in Virginia and 600 registered voters in Colorado were conducted July 9-12 via landline and cellphone. The margin of error for both samples is plus or minus 4 percentage points.
