5 Points in 4-Way Race
A just-released CNN/ORC poll shows the race for the White House consolidating, with Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by six points (51-45) with likely voters in a two-way race, and five points (49-44) when third party candidates are included. Both candidates equally took points away from Libertarian Gary Johnson, who now registers only 3 points in the poll.
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.
