Sunday's Washington Post/ABC presidential poll gives Hillary Clinton a 5 percent national lead over Donald Trump. Both candidates are lagging in affirmative support: Just 55 percent of Clinton voters and 43 percent of Trump voters say they're voting for their candidate as opposed to against the other campaign.

The final Politico/Morning Consult poll, also published Sunday, similarly sees Clinton with a 3-point advantage among the general population and a 6-point lead among women. Two polls from Saturday give Clinton a 2 or 1 percent lead.
