The majority of voters in three critical swing states do not view Hillary Clinton as trustworthy, according to a new poll released on Wednesday.

The Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll found that voters in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania are skeptical of the Democratic presidential front-runner’s integrity by margins ranging from 8 to 14 percentage points.

Fifty-one percent of Florida respondents said they find Clinton untrustworthy, while 43 percent said the opposite. In Ohio, 53 percent of voters said they believe Clinton is dishonest, while 40 percent did not. And in Pennsylvania, 54 percent said they do not see her as honest, compared with 40 percent who did.

Voters across all three states listed honesty and trustworthiness as their top issue among potential candidates.

Quinnipiac’s fresh sampling also found that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is the GOP presidential contender with the best shot against Clinton across all three states.

The Florida lawmaker, it found, received 44 percent of support in his home state compared to 47 percent for Clinton.

In Ohio, Rubio nabbed 41 percent support, while Clinton took 45 percent.

In Pennsylvania, Rubio squeaked past Clinton among voters, earning 44 percent of their support to her 43 percent.

“It’s a long way until Election Day, but in the critical swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida has a tiny edge over the GOP field,” said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac Poll.

“Most of the eight GOP hopefuls are within striking distance of Hillary Clinton in at least one of the three states,” Brown said. “In Ohio, Gov. [John] Kasich leads.”

“But perhaps more troubling for her than the continuing slide is how she is perceived by voters who continue to say is not honest and trustworthy,” he added.
