Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by 7 points in a four-way race, 45 percent to 38 percent, according to the latest Fox News national poll, which was conducted after the second presidential debate. Head-to-head, Clinton's lead widened to 8 points, 49 percent to 41 percent. Clinton's winning margin in the poll is well outside the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, and about on par with the Real Clear Politics polling average, which puts her 6.7 points ahead. The poll was taken by phone from Oct. 10-12 among 917 likely voters.
Clinton is also ahead in some new swing state polls, claiming leads in North Carolina in an NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist survey (45 percent to 41 percent) and in New Hampshire in a MassINC Polling Group/WBUR-FM poll (45 percent to 39 percent). In the Real Clear Politics averages, Clinton leads North Carolina by 2.9 points and New Hampshire by 3.6 points.
