Asked of Republican registered voters
Donald Trump (R) 76%
Neither/Other 10%
Hillary Clinton (D) 9%
Don't know/Refused 4%
Not Voting 1%

Asked of independent registered voters
Donald Trump (R) 32%
Neither/Other 27%
Hillary Clinton (D) 27%
Don't know/Refused 7%
Not Voting 7%

Trump's lead over Clinton among Republicans is given as 65 points (76 - 9), while Clinton's lead over Trump among Democrats is given as 62 points (72 - 10). Trump's lead over Clinton among independent voters is given as 5 points (32 - 27). I understand that there may be more Democrats than Republicans; at the same time, the underlying numbers do not, in my opinion, show what I consider to be a strong lead. I imagine that, if the election were held today, it would be very, very close.
