The Reuters poll has Clinton garnering 46 percent of support, with Trump lagging behind by 11 points at 35 percent. The 11 point lead by Clinton is the largest yet recorded in any poll.
Not surprisingly, Clinton also leads Trump in the all-important favorability category. 60 percent of poll respondents said they have a negative view of Trump, with only 40 percent saying they view him favorably. And the poll has deeper data which also bodes well for Clinton: President Obama’s favorability has now reached 52 percent. The higher an incumbent President polls, the greater the chance that his party will hold the White House.
Three weeks ago, the same Reuters/Ipsos poll had Trump ahead of Clinton by three points.
So Clinton has gained 14 points in just three weeks time.
Yesterday, Clinton used a speech in San Diego to repeatedly call into question Trump’s suitability as Commander-in-Chief, even going so far as to say he is far too unstable to have his finger on the nuclear button. Clinton also skewered the real estate mogul for his arrogance and temperament, which she said made Trump “unfit” to be President of the United States.
