Poll: Clinton up 10 on Trump nationally

Hillary Clinton is 10 points ahead of Donald Trump in a national poll just over a month from Election Day.

The Democratic nominee leads her Republican rival 50 percent to 40 percent among likely voters in the Fairleigh Dickinson University survey released Wednesday.

{mosads}Pollsters found Clinton’s edge is roughly unchanged when respondents are asked about third-party candidates.

Clinton leads Trump, 45 percent to 36 percent, in a four-way matchup, with Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson grabbing 11 percent and the Green Party’s Jill Stein nabbing 3 percent.  

More respondents would also prefer Clinton’s running mate to Trump’s if Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Gov. Mike Pence (Ind.) were the presidential candidates instead. Forty-nine percent favor Kaine in that situation, versus 41 percent who back Pence.  

Fairleigh Dickinson University questioned 788 likely voters from Sept. 28 to Oct. 2. Its new poll has a 4.4 percentage point margin of error.

Recent polls show the White House race between Clinton and Trump remains competitive.

A Reuters/Ipsos survey out Wednesday, for example, found Clinton leading Trump by about 6 points nationally.

And Clinton leads Trump by about 4 points in the latest RealClearPolitics average of national polls.
