FOX NEWS POLL: Clinton 49% Trump 39%

The Democrat is winning among the so-called “Obama coalition,” the key voting blocs that secured his re-election. Clinton is favored among women by 23 points (57-34 percent), blacks by 83 (87-4 percent), Hispanics by 48 (68-20 percent), and voters under 30 by 18 (49-31 percent).

Trump is the choice among whites by 10 points (49-39 percent), men by 5 (45-40 percent), white evangelical Christians by 50 (69-19 percent), and whites without a college degree by 16 (52-36 percent).

Right now he’s underperforming his 2012 counterpart. Romney won whites by 20 points (59-39 percent), men by 7 (52-45 percent), white evangelicals by 57 (78-21 percent), and whites without a degree by 26 (62-36 percent).

Looks like Clinton/Kaine could make a little headway there.

and he's leading by only 5 with men and yet she's ahead by only 10. More women traditionally vote than men.

... about the poll break-down.

My guess is that respondents didn't answer every question about their gender, race, etc.

Let me say it again: Voter turnout.

Want Trump to go down to humiliating, gut-churning defeat? Voter turnout.

Want Democrats to govern? Voter turnout.

Want them to govern boldly, secure in a mandate from the people? Voter turnout.
