Hillary Clinton Leads Donald Trump in New National Poll
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is ahead of her GOP rival Donald Trump in a new national poll released on the eve of the Republican National Convention. Clinton leads Trump by 46 to 41, according to the Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, which was released on Sunday. That five-point margin remains the same from a Journal/NBC News survey taken last month before the FBI criticized Clinton's private email practices as "extremely careless" while she was secretary of state. The poll also found that Clinton has a huge advantage among African-Americans with 84 supporting Clinton compared to 7 backing Trump. Clinton also had the support of voters between the ages of 18 and 29 by 55 to 32, and women by 52 to 37. Trump is ahead among whites by 50 to 37, as well as among men by 46 to 39, according to the survey. The poll interviewed 1,000 registered voters between July 9 and July 13. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.1. WSJ
