Clinton leads Trump by 5 points in new CNN/ORC poll
With two weeks to go until the election, a new CNN/ORC poll released Monday shows Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by 5 points.
Among likely voters, Clinton is ahead with 49 percent compared to Trump's 44 percent, followed by Libertarian Gary Johnson with 3 percent and the Green Party's Jill Stein with 2 percent. When the third-party candidates are removed, Clinton's margin increases to 51 percent to Trump's 45 percent.
Looking at voters under the age of 45, Clinton is at 53 percent, up from 47 percent in the last CNN/ORC poll. She is ahead of Trump in every age group except among those 50-64, who back Trump by 4 points. Clinton also leads Trump among women, 53 percent to 41 percent, while Trump has a narrow lead among men, 48 percent to 45 percent. The poll was conducted over the phone Oct. 20-23 among a random sample of 1,017 adults, with 779 determined to be likely voters. The margin of sampling error for results among the sample of likely voters is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
