Looking to November: Clinton leads Trump by double-digits in new poll [View all]

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

We are in a great position as we move into the general. I believe these number will grow coming out of our convention. I don't think they will hold to this great of a degree but there is no doubt we are in a great position.

Clinton has a 54% to 41% advantage over Trump in a hypothetical matchup — her largest lead over Trump since July, according to the poll.
