But Trump leads Clinton, narrowly, on the economy, with 51% favoring the billionaire, and 47% the former secretary of state.
“Clinton tops Trump on every other issue tested this way in the poll, including terrorism (Clinton +2), immigration (Clinton +3), nominating justices to the Supreme Court (+5) and foreign policy (+21). But the economy continues to be voters’ top issue, 91% call it extremely or very important,” CNN reports.
