Hillary Clinton has a strong lead in Florida and Virginia, according to two new polls out Tuesday.

A Monmouth University poll found that in a four-way matchup in Florida, 48% of likely voters in the swing state backed Clinton, while 39% were behind Trump. Libertarian Gary Johnson had the support of 6% of likely voters and Green Party candidate Jill Stein had the backing of 1%. Just 5% of voters were undecided.

Clinton’s lead is helped by her support from Hispanic, black and Asian voters — 69% of minority likely voters supported the Democratic nominee, compared with just 19% who supported Trump.

Trump had a significant lead with white voters in Florida, 51%-37%. However, there's a notable gender split: Trump has a 40-point advantage among white men in Florida (64%-24%) while Clinton had a 10-point lead with white women (49%-39%).

Meanwhile in the Senate race, Sen. Marco Rubio leads both of his Democratic challengers, although the race between Rubio and Rep. Patrick Murphy was separated by just 5 points, 48%-43%. When matched up against Rep. Alan Grayson, Rubio is 11 points ahead, 50%-39%.

Clinton had a strong lead in Virginia with both registered and likely voters, too. A Washington Post poll out Tuesday morning found that Clinton was 14 points ahead of Trump with registered voters in the state, 52%-38%. She was also 8 points ahead with likely voters, 51%-43%.

Clinton was leading among college-educated white voters — a group Republican nominee Mitt Romney won in 2012 by 10 points — with 53% to Trump's 37%.

Worth noting: Clinton’s running mate is Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine. Kaine had a 54% favorability rating in the state.

The Monmouth University telephone poll, conducted Aug. 12-15, included 402 Florida residents likely to vote and had a 4.9-point margin of error. The Washington Post poll, conducted Aug. 11-14 by telephone, included 888 registered voters with a 4-point margin of error and 707 likely voters with a 4.5-point margin of error.
