Trump, the thrice-married billionaire who's been heavily criticized for his treatment of women, trails Clinton by 21 percentage points among women voters in the same poll, although he leads her by 5 percent among men.

The survey also suggests Republican voters would be less enthusiastic about voting for the New York businessman, who dubs himself a "common-sense conservative," than Democratic voters would be about supporting Clinton. While three-quarters of Republican respondents would support Trump as their party's nominee, 86 percent of Democrats would support Clinton as theirs.


Clinton also outperformed Trump among independents, 48 to 39 percent, and voters under the age of 40, and was consistently rated the more trusted candidate on handling the economy, terrorism, immigration and dealing with international crises.

I guess the argument that Hillary can't win is now bogus.
