Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by a staggering 24 points in the state of Massachusetts.

A new Suffolk University and Boston Globe poll finds the former Secretary of State safely ahead with 55 percent of the overall vote, compared to just 31 percent for Trump, recently officially declared the presumptive Republican nominee.

Majority of Voters Have Positive Image of Clinton

Overall, 47 percent of voters have a favorable view of Clinton, while 43 percent have a negative image of her.

All across Massachusetts, Clinton appears to be building on the momentum she gathered from her defeat of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in March's democratic primary. Back then, she collected 50.1 percent of the vote to Sanders' 48.7 percent.

The last time the state of Massachusetts went for anyone other than a democrat in the general election was 1984, when the state joined most of all the others in granting President Ronald Reagan his landslide reelection win.

"I don't think he focuses on Massachusetts," Suffolk University pollster David Paleologos said of Trump. "He's already way down. Even if you make the argument that her core number is in the 50s, and even if all the undecided go to Trump, her strength among women in the state is amazing."

Meanwhile, more than half of Sanders' Massachusetts supporters indicate they now plan to support Clinton.

Trump handily won Massachusetts, posting what at the time represented his largest vote share in any state. At the time, supporters prophesized his unorthodox style and candidacy could put the state back in play come general election season, a theory many instantly dismissed as unrealistic.

Clinton Seen as More Trustworthy

A recent CNN/ORC national poll also found Trump trailing Clinton 54 percent to 41 percent after he was officially declared the GOP's presumptive nominee.

The poll noted Clinton's 13-point lead was the largest she has held in the poll since last July. Voters indicated they have a much higher level of trust for Clinton over Trump on many of the issues many of them consider to be among the most significant.
