Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton by three points in the latest Fox News poll released Wednesday.

Trump's lead is the exact same as the poll's margin of error, but represents the first time Trump has led Clinton, Fox News reported.

In the poll, Trump has 45 percent of registered voters support to Clinton's 42 percent.

Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, leads Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, with white voters 55 percent to 31 percent. Among whites without a college degree, Trump leads 61 percent-24 percent, The Hill notes.

Clinton leads with black voters, who back her 90 percent to 7 percent over Trump, and with Hispanics, who favor her 62 percent to 23 percent.

She also leads with women, 50 percent of whom back her, compared to 36 percent for Trump.

Trump also trails Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in a hypothetical matchup. Sanders has 46 percent to Trump's 42 percent, but Trump is gaining on Sanders in the same poll.

The poll talked to 1,021 registered voters May 14-17, and has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 3 percentage points.

More Than Half of Trump Voters Want To Block Clinton

More than support Trump's policies.

Why are people voting for Donald Trump? For a good part of his base the reason is simple: block Hillary Clinton from taking the White House.

While both Trump and Clinton draw support from those that want to block the other candidate, the poll from IPSOS for Reuters news agency shows that 51% of Trump backers are voting to stop Hillary while 45% of Clinton backers want to stop The Donald.

The poll shows that very few are backing the two leading candidates because they actually like them. Just 6% said they were voting for Donald Trump because they like him while 11% could say that about Clinton. An effectively equal amount backed both Clinton and Trump based on their policies - 40% said they backed Trump for his policies while 41% said the same about Clinton.

The poll was conducted by IPSOS surveying 1,046 adults aged 18 and over.
