2016 Presidential Polls: Hillary Clinton Leads Donald Trump by Double Digits Among Hispanic Voters
Hillary Clinton holds a three point lead over Donald Trump in a new national poll pitting the presumptive nominees of their respective parties head to head.
In a new Survey USA poll, Clinton stands at 39 percent to Trump's 36 percent and six percent for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.
Pollsters also found Clinton, who recently officially emerged as the presumptive Democratic candidate, scores 75 percent of her party's overall vote with 90 percent of those supporters insisting they are strongly in her corner.
Clinton Hold Huge Edge Among Hispanic Voters
Among Hispanic voters, Clinton leads Trump 45 percent to 29 percent with six percent of voters still undecided. With a margin of error of 2.7 percent, the poll also found Clinton leading Trump among women overall 41 percent to 31 percent, and among females ages 18 to 34, 41 percent to 27 percent.
On the flip side, Trump tops Clinton among white voters 40 percent to 34 percent and among voters over the age of 50 -- 42 percent to 39 percent. The one-day poll was conducted earlier this month on June 8.
Meanwhile, a recent Reuters/Ipsos found Clinton has built an 11-point bulge over Trump at 46 percent to 35 percent. The former first lady's growing lead came just days after the same poll found Trump has pulled into a statistical deadlock with her among likely general election voters.
Clinton's improving outlook coincided with her stepped up attacks on Trump over policy positions that include his deportation pledge.
Trump Dogged by Controversy
Trump has also faced recent criticism over his harsh assessment of the Mexican judge poised to oversee the fraud trial he faces in connection with his namesake Trump University.
The scandal involves a trio of litigants who have sued Trump alleging he misled them into as much as $35,000 for courses billed as offering the secrets of his lucrative investment strategies.
