Clinton leads Trump, 84 to 6 percent, among black respondents, while Trump leads her among white respondents, 52 to 25 percent.
Clinton also holds a big advantage among women, 48 to 35 percent, while men are more evenly split, 41 to 40 percent, in favor of Trump.
Poll respondents more than not disapprove of the job President Obama is doing, with 48 percent disapproving and 44 percent approving.
