Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has solid leads over her Republican rival Donald Trump in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Virginia and modest leads in Florida and North Carolina, according to the poll.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has a solid lead over her Republican rival Donald Trump in five key US battleground states following the first presidential debate, a Public Polling Policy (PPP) survey revealed on Thursday.

"Clinton has solid leads in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Virginia — states seen as important to her path to 270 electoral votes — and modest leads in Florida and North Carolina," PPP Director Tom Jensen stated.

If the results hold up, Trump has "no path to victory," the pollster explained.

In a two-way race, Clinton leads Trump by at least three points in Colorado (51-44), Florida (48-45), North Carolina (49-45), Pennsylvania (49-44) and Virginia (49-43). Her lead increases dramatically when Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein are included.

Additionally, the poll noted that voters in all five states widely perceived Clinton to be the winner of the first presidential debate on Monday night.

The second of three Clinton-Trump debates is scheduled for October 9.
