National poll shows Clinton up by 5 points

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton holds a 5-point lead over her likely general election rival, Donald Trump, in a new poll.

{mosads}Clinton leads Trump, 47 to 42 percent, among registered voters in the CNN/ORC Poll released Tuesday morning. 

Those results track closely with those from an NBC News/Survey Monkey weekly tracking poll released early Tuesday. That online poll shows Clinton with a 6-point lead over Trump, compared to a 2-point lead just two weeks ago. 

Clinton has held a lead in a series of recent national surveys. Trump was declared the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee in early May, while Clinton clinched the same title earlier this month following wins in New Jersey and California.

Trump, however, has faced several weeks of negative attention over his focus on a federal judge’s Mexican heritage and proposal to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. amid a renewed focus on terrorism. Clinton also bashed his response to the mass shooting at an Orlando gay nightclub.

A majority of Americans in the CNN poll, 55 percent, think that Clinton will win in November, while 38 percent think Trump will win.

More Clinton supporters, 37 percent, say they’ve made up their minds on who they will support in November, compared to 33 percent of Trump supporters. Another 10 percent of Clinton supporters say they could change their mind, while 9 percent of Trump supporters say the same. 

Clinton also continues to lead Trump nationally when third-party candidates are factored into the race: Clinton leads with 42 percent, Trump has 38 percent, Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson has 9 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein has 7 percent.

The CNN survey of 1,001 U.S. adults, including 891 registered voters, was conducted via landlines and cellphones June 16–19. It has an overall margin of error of 3 percentage points and a margin of error of 3.5 points for registered voters.
