Clinton Leads by 4 Nationally; Trump Hurt Himself in Debate
Source: Public Policy Polling
Raleigh, N.C. – PPP's new national poll finds Hillary Clinton leading by 4 points both in the full field of candidates, and in a head to head match up with Donald Trump.
In the full field she gets 44% to 40% for Trump, 6% for Gary Johnson, 2% for Evan McMullin, and 1% for Jill Stein.
She leads Trump 49/45 if voters had to choose just between the two of them.
“We’ve consistently found Hillary Clinton with a national lead in the 3-6 point range since Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling.
“She’s never been able to blow the race wide open and she probably never will, but her modest advantage has proven to be quite durable.”
Monday night's debate was a big success for Clinton. 54% of voters
think she won it, to only 31% who think Trump won. Beyond that
simple fact it opened up several issues that may persist for the rest of the campaign:
-The discussion about Trump's personal taxes in the debate has voters thinking several things that could prove very problematic for his ability to make a comeback in the final 40 days.
Only 31% of voters think Trump pays his fair share
of federal income taxes, to 52% who think he does not.
46% of voters nationally think that they personally pay more in federal income taxes than he does, to only 36% who think Trump pays more.
