A new national poll conducted after Friday’s release of the lewd Donald Trump tape, but before the second debate, said Hillary Clinton has an 11-point lead over Trump among registered voters.
When third-party candidates are included in the poll, Clinton led Trump 46-35 in the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. She was up just 6 points last month.
In a two-way matchup, Clinton leads 52-38. She led by 7 points in the last poll.
The poll is the first major survey following a video that shows the Republican nominee bragging in what he thought was a private conversation about touching women without their consent.
Following the comments, nearly four-in-10 (38 percent) respondents thick Trump should now exit from the race. However, 42 percent disagree with the idea that he has been disqualified for office and should withdraw.
The lewd tape has also helped Clinton’s advantage with women, increasing to 21 points from 12 points last month. Trump’s lead among men remains a single-point.
The poll of 500 registered voters was conducted Oct. 8-9, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.38 percentage points.
