CBS poll: Clinton 39%, Trump 32%, Johnson 11%

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A new CBS News poll shows Hillary Clinton holding a six-point lead nationally over Donald Trump in the presidential race.

The former secretary of state is up 43 to 37 percent of the presumptive Republican nominee. Last month, the presumptive Democrat nominee held a 47 to 41 percent over the billionaire.

The poll was conducted before Sunday’s mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando where 49 people were killed.

With Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson included, Clinton holds a seven-point lead nationally over Trump – 39 to 32 percent. The former New Mexico governor garnered 11 percent of the vote.

But then if I recall correctly Hillary's husband never got more than 50% of the vote in the general election.

It never had much public support. Hence the "I'm the least worst" approach to politics.
