Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has taken a double-digit lead over presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, according to a new poll released Friday.
According to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, Clinton is up 11 percentage points over Trump, who had been closing the gap in recent polls. Clinton currently holds 46 percent support to Trump’s 35 percent, with 19 percent saying they would not support either candidate.
Clinton’s lead has been trimmed significantly since Trump became the presumptive nominee. According to the latest RealClearPolitics average, Clinton (43.8 percent) leads Trump (42.3 percent) by only 1.5 percentage points. Two of the polls (Fox News and ABC/Washington Post) even had Trump leading.
The Reuters poll was a survey of 1,421 people, and taken between May 30-June 3.
