A new McClatchy-Marist poll released Thursday shows Hillary Clinton has opened her biggest polling lead against Donald Trump yet. The poll, conducted after the conclusion of both parties' nominating conventions, shows Clinton holding a 15-point lead in a head-to-head match-up against Trump, pulling 48 percent support to his 33 percent. In a four-way race including the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and the Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Clinton still leads Trump by 14 points, 45 percent to 31 percent.
Furthermore, the poll finds Clinton has made inroads with some of Trump's most reliable supporters: whites and men. Earlier polls Thursday also showed Clinton holding leads in the key states of Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Florida, and Michigan.
