Presidential Election Polls 2016: Hillary Clinton Leads Donald Trump by Nine Points in Pew Poll, up Nearly 3-1 Among Hispanic Voters

Hillary Clinton tops Donald Trump by nine points in a new, national Pew Research Center survey, including trouncing him by a near 3 to 1 margin among Hispanic voters.

In a head to head match-up between the two presumptive nominees of their respective parties, the former first lady leads 51 percent to 42 percent. Among Hispanic voters, Clinton holds a commanding 66 percent to 24 percent advantage.

Researchers found immigration reigns as one of the most important issues of the election among Latino voters, with many speculating Trump's hardline stance on the issue has caused him ant chance he may have held of bagging a significant portion of the Latino vote.

Trump marked the official launch of his campaign by deriding undocumented immigrants as criminals and drug dealers. In addition to his vow to deport millions, he has also pledged to build a wall along the Mexican border to further keep immigrants out.

Conducted over a near two week period commencing in mid June from among more than 2,200 voters, pollsters also found the margin of Clinton's advantage remains unchanged when third-party, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson is added to the mix.

In such a scenario, Clinton garners 45 percent of the vote, to Trump's 36 percent and Johnson's 11 percent.

As much as party lines, pollsters found much of the vote is also split along racial divides. Among African-Americans, Clinton leads by a staggering 91 percent to 7 percent margin, while Trump runs top among white, non-Hispanic voters 51 percent to 42 percent.

When posed with the question of who is "more personally qualified," voters also picked Clinton over her GOP challenger, with 56 percent of all voters agreeing she is personally qualified to be commander in chief compared to just 30 percent of voters who see Trump in the same way.

In addition, 53 percent of voters say the phrase "would use good judgment in a crisis" better describes Clinton, while just 30 percent of voters say the same about Trump.

Overall, the economy, terrorism and immigration rank among the most important issues in the minds of voters, with Clinton widely viewed as the candidate best equipped to handle the issue of race relations.
