"Hillary Clinton has a 13-point lead over Donald Trump among registered voters. Forty-eight percent of American voters say they would vote for Clinton if the election were being held today, compared to 35% who would vote for Trump. Two percent of voters volunteer that they would vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson, while another 5% volunteer that they would vote for some other candidate and 10% offered no opinion.

Clinton has stronger support among Democrats than Trump has among Republicans. Nearly nine in ten (88%) Democratic voters say they would vote for Clinton if the election were held today, while eight in ten (80%) Republican voters say they would vote for Trump. Among independent voters, Clinton leads Trump by seven points (40% vs. 33%, respectively); however, 4% of independent voters are supporting Johnson, 9% are supporting some other candidate, and 13% of independent voters offer no opinion.

Trump holds a five-point lead over Clinton among white voters (44% vs. 39%, respectively). Black and Hispanic voters, in contrast, strongly prefer Clinton over Trump. Two-thirds (67%) of Hispanic voters and 85% of black voters say they would vote for Clinton if the presidential election were held today, while fewer than one in five (18%) Hispanic voters and just 4% of black voters say they would vote for Trump.

There is, however, considerable division among white voters by educational attainment. Half (50%) of white voters without a college degree support Trump, compared to 32% who support Clinton. Among white voters with a college degree, the numbers are reversed; a slim majority (51%) of white voters with a college degree say they would vote for Clinton, compared to one-third (33%) who prefer Trump."

A little off, but strong numbers.

Does this pollster have any history?

[The Other Castro]

At this point Clinton will probably win college whites, but winning them by as much as Trump wins non college whites? I highly doubt it.

[dspNY]

Throw it in the average I guess

Another poll to show Clinton winning White Catholics, also she's only down 10 points with mainline protestants.

They've been doing national polling on religious topic since at least 2010. They're members of AAPOR. I'd consider them at least as legitimate as most uni polls.

This is also great to see:

One caveat... the poll ran from August 10-16, so a bit out of date, may explain the margin. N = 1,630 RVs

Not shocked at all by that result.

Yeah, that would explain a bit of it.

At the moment the race is probably Clinton +6 two-way and Clinton +4 four-way. Not far from that at least.

Surely it's an outlier, but by that logic, PPP shouldn't be trusted.

The PPP polls for the Democrats shouldn't be trusted. But PPP is NOT an advocacy group like these guys are. Caveat emptor. I'd be saying the same thing if it were a Republican-leaning group.

[Darthpi – Anti-Florida Activist]

They were generally one of the worst polls for Trump during the primaries, so it doesn't surprise me they would have bad numbers for him in the general. Even considering that, though, 13 points is a pretty wide gap.

Uh, wat? They're non-partisan... Unless you think having too many PhDs on staff makes you"Democrat leaning"
