Fox News Poll: Clinton tops Trump by 6 points

Source: Fox News

Hillary Clinton remains ahead of Donald Trump with just three weeks until Election Day.

She has a six-point lead over Trump, 45-39 percent, in a new Fox News Poll of likely voters. Clinton was up by seven points last week (45-38 percent) and by two in early October (44-42 percent). Gary Johnson stands at 5 percent and Green Party’s Jill Stein at 3 percent.

In the head-to-head matchup, Clinton’s up by 49-42 percent. It was 49-41 percent at the end of last week (Oct. 10-12).

Clinton’s advantage over Trump is at the edge of the poll’s margin of error in the four-way contest and outside the margin of error in the head-to-head ballot.

Yup. Sadly, America is so divided that no presidential candidate is going to see a 20 point win. Drunken Irishman Oct 2016 #10

The margin of error is actually 3 percentage points, so 6% is clearly outside, pnwmom Oct 2016 #4

But that +/-3% applies to both candidates. Denzil_DC Oct 2016 #7

20 points or more, but the reality is that this is still a divided country. There are still a ton of Americans out there who drink the Kool Aid about HC being "crooked" and "untrustworthy", while others not only believe that, but also actually like Trump's message of racism, misogyny, and xenophobia. No matter how good of a job HC does during the debates and while campaigning, she will more than likely never win them over.

MAYBE Obama could push this up to 15 points if he was running ... but even Bill Clinton didn't beat Dole by 10 (only 8) in 1996.

The days of monster landslide victories in the popular vote are over for the foreseeable future.

not at the edge of, the margin of error.

The Fox News Poll is based on landline and cellphone interviews with 1,011 randomly chosen registered voters nationwide and was conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R) from October 15-17, 2016. The survey includes results among 912 likely voters. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points for results among both registered and likely voters.
