Poll: Clinton Maintains Big Lead as Voters Doubt Trump's Temperament
Source: NBC News
Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by 9 points 50 percent to 41 percent in the latest NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll.
The numbers were virtually unchanged since last week's poll. Generally low favorability and negative attitudes among voters plague both candidates, however, as they make appeals to voters in key swing states in the weeks ahead.
A majority of voters continue to hold unfavorable impressions of both current nominees; Clinton's negative feelings were held by slightly less voters (59 percent) than Trump (64 percent). These results are according to the latest from the NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll conducted online from August 8 through August 14, 2016 among registered voters.
Clinton continues her lead over the field in a four-way general election match-up with 43 percent against Trump (37 percent), Libertarian Gary Johnson (11 percent) and Green party candidate Jill Stein (4 percent).

(56,828 posts)In most cases, 3rd party candidates poll higher in the summer, and then end up fading in the end. That said, Trump might be a different animal and Johnson could end up a few points higher than your typical Libertarian. Though, I suspect some may stay home rather than vote Trump.
