Monmouth is out with a new poll today and it’s devastating for Trump:
Hillary Clinton has taken a double digit lead over Donald Trump according to the latest Monmouth University Poll . This compares to the slim two point lead she held among likely voters just before the two major parties held their conventions.
Currently, 46% of registered voters support Clinton and 34% back Trump, with 7% supporting Libertarian Gary Johnson, and 2% backing Jill Stein of the Green Party. Support among likely voters stands at 50% Clinton, 37% Trump, 7% Johnson, and 2% Stein.
In a poll taken days before the Republican convention in mid-July, Clinton held a narrow 43% to 40% lead among registered voters and a 45% to 43% lead among likely voters.

Why is Trump down 50-37 in new Monmouth poll? White women with college degrees: Romney WON them by 6 point margin. Trump is LOSING by 30.

The Monmouth poll showing Clinton+13, 50-37 is a *four way* race, with Johnson at 7, Stein 2. I think that's the first 4 way with Clinton=50

Trump still has time to improve his numbers, but we’ve been saying that for a long time and it’s only gotten worse. At this point in the race, considering the conventions have already passed us by, Trump should be way more competitive than he is currently.
