The latest Fox News poll has the Hillary Clinton-Tim Kaine ticket ahead of Donald Trump and Mike Pence by 10 points, at 49 to 39 percent.
This is the first time the Fox News poll included running mates, and last month, Clinton led Trump by 6 points. When the Libertarian ticket of Gary Johnson and Bill Weld is added to the mix, they receive 12 percent of the hypothetical vote, with Clinton earning 44 percent to Trump's 35 percent. Clinton is favored among women by 23 points (57-34 percent) and blacks by 83 (87-4 percent), while Trump is the favorite of white evangelical Christians by 57 points (78-21 percent) and whites without college degrees by 26 (62-36 percent). Among Trump supporters, 52 percent said their vote is more against Clinton than for Trump, while 44 percent said they are voting for Trump because they like him.
Pollsters interviewed 1,022 registered votes chosen at random over cellphone and landlines. The poll has a margin of sampling error of ±3 percentage points for all registered voters.
