U.S. Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump¹, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee², by four points among voters nationwide, according to a new poll issued Tuesday.

 

本周二发布的一份新的民意测验显示，民主党领跑者希拉里·克林顿领先即将获得共和党总统候选人提名的唐纳德·特朗普四个百分点。

 

Clinton takes 42 percent to Trump's 38 percent in the Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey, as the presidential election is six months away, TheHill news daily reported.

 

"Hillary Clinton certainly is favored to win the presidential race this fall," said Dean Debnam, president of PPP. "But it might not be the giant blowout that it's been made to be in some quarters." 

 

The poll found that Trump remains³ unpopular nationwide, with 61 percent viewing him unfavorably and 34 percent seeing him favorably.

 

Clinton fares little better, with 55 percent viewing her unfavorably and 36 percent seeing her favorably instead.
