Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton jumped to a double-digit lead Monday over Donald Trump in the first poll carried out since the release of a recording in which the Republican bragged about groping women.
Clinton enjoys 46% support among likely voters against 35% for Trump in a four-way race that includes Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, according to the NBC News-Wall Street Journal survey.
In a two-way race, Clinton’s lead over the real estate mogul expands to 14 points, 52% to 38%, according to the poll, which has a margin of error of 4.4% points.
The poll was carried out after Friday’s release of the shocking audio recording of Trump speaking in 2005, but before Sunday night’s second presidential debate between him and Clinton.
