Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by 3 points in Fox News poll
Fox News on Wednesday released its latest poll, showing Hillary Clinton ahead of Donald Trump by 3 percentage points among likely voters.
Clinton leads Trump 44 percent to 41 percent in a four-way race including Libertarian Gary Johnson, and the Green Party's Jill Stein; last week, Clinton was up by 6 points. Trump's biggest supporters are white evangelical Christians (+56 points) and whites without a college degree (+28), while Clinton's are blacks (+77), unmarried women (+27), voters under 30 (+18), and women (+10). Clinton is seen as better to handle foreign policy (+15 points), immigration (+3), and terrorism (+3), with the economy viewed as Trump's strength (+4). Less than half of likely voters see Trump as being qualified to be president (46 percent) and more than half don't trust his judgment in a crisis (56 percent). In a two-way race, Clinton beats Trump 49 percent to 44 percent.
