Published October 31, 2016 3:01pm ET



Hillary Clinton’s unfavorability rating has reached a new high just eight days before the presidential election, and is now higher that Donald Trump’s unfavorable rating, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll released Monday.

Sixty percent of voters now hold a negative opinion of the Democratic presidential hopeful, putting her in a slightly worse position than Trump, who has a 58 percent rating. The poll was taken Oct. 26-29 and included two nights of results that came after FBI Director James Comey announced the reopening of its investigation into Clinton’s handling of classified material.
