New poll: Clinton leads Trump by 6

Hillary Clinton holds a six point lead over Donald Trump among likely voters, according to a fresh Bloomberg Politics national poll released Wednesday morning.
Fifty percent of the likely voters reached by the new poll say they either support Clinton or are leaning her way, while just 44 percent said the same of Trump. The poll shows the former secretary of state with a smaller advantage than she has in most other recent polls, most of which have lately shown her to hold a double-digit lead.
In a four-way race that also includes Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and the Green Party’s Jill Stein, Clinton holds a four-point lead over Trump, 44 percent to 40 percent. Johnson, the former Republican governor of New Mexico, earned the support of nine percent of respondents, while Stein clocked in at four percent.
Between Clinton and Trump, 56 percent of respondents said the former secretary of state has the right temperament to be president while just 31 percent said the same of the real estate mogul. Just 29 percent said Trump would be a good role model for children, something 54 percent said Clinton would be.
But Trump led Clinton, 50 percent to 43 percent, on the question of which candidate would combat terrorist threats at home and abroad. Respondents also said Trump was the candidate who better understands what it takes to create jobs, preferring him on that question by a 51-42 margin.
The former reality TV star’s concern about the timing of the presidential debates relative to NFL football games appears to be at least somewhat unfounded. Just 29 percent of likely voters polled said they would elect to watch the football game over the presidential debate if both were on TV at the same time, while 69 percent said they would pick the debate.
The poll was conducted August 5-8, reaching 1,008 adults, 749 of which said they are likely to vote in November’s general election. The margin of error for the full sample size was plus-or-minus 3.1 points, while the margin of error for likely voters was plus-or-minus 3.6 points.
