*****BREAKING***** QUINNIPIAC NATIONAL POLL-CLINTON 50 LA GRANDE ORANGE 44




A 20 percentage-point lead among women and a 45-point lead among non-white voters lift Democrat Hillary Clinton to a 45 - 40 percent likely voter lead over Republican Donald Trump, with 6 percent for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson and 3 percent for Green Party candidate Jill Stein, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.

This compares to a too-close-to-call result in a September 26 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University, showing Clinton with 44 percent, Trump at 43 percent, Johnson at 8 percent and Stein at 2 percent.

In a head-to-head matchup, Clinton gets 50 percent to Trump's 44 percent, compared to 47 percent for Clinton and 46 percent for Trump September 26.

In the four-way race, women back Clinton 53 - 33 percent as men back Trump 49 - 37 percent. White voters go Republican 51 - 38 percent while non-white voters go Democratic 63 - 18 percent.

The biggest shift is among independent voters, who go from 42 - 35 percent for Trump, with 15 percent for Johnson September 26 to 46 - 32 percent for Clinton, with 10 percent for Johnson today. Republicans back Trump 87 - 5 percent while Democrats back Clinton 89 - 3 percent.

538 gives Quinnipiac an R lean of 3 points so HRC is more likely leading by +8%

Update: 538 just added this poll into their model. They adjust it to give Hillary a lead of +7%. Now-Cast now at 86.8%!
