Clinton鈥檚 lead over Trump up to 8 points
Print Edition
DEMOCRAT Hillary Clinton has widened her lead over White House rival Donald Trump to eight points after both parties’ nominating conventions, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll out yesterday.
Clinton led Trump 50 to 42 percent among registered voters, according to the telephone survey carried out on August 1-4.
She got a strong bounce in the support from her nomination — which unlike the fractious Republican convention, showed a united party — but has also gained from major gaffes by Trump.
Ahead of the nominating conventions Clinton had a four-point lead, according to an Post-ABC News survey.
Among likely voters, Clinton’s lead is 51-44 percent.
Clinton and her running mate, Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, won the nomination to run for the November 8 presidential election during the July 25-28 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Trump and his vice presidential candidate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, were nominated in the July 18-21 Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
Trump has been struggling after a string of gaffes.
These include urging Russia to find and release emails that disappeared from Clinton’s private server that she used as secretary of state, though he later said that he was being sarcastic.
He also denigrated the family of a Muslim-American soldier killed in the Iraq war, to the horror of veterans and their supporters.
