Hillary +5 Nationwide In New NBC Poll

NBC News reports:

Hillary Clinton’s 5-point lead over Donald Trump remains virtually unchanged since last week—but after prolonged in-fighting among GOP party leaders, a majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters (57 percent) see a lasting fracture in the Republican Party, according to the latest NBC News|SurveyMonkey poll.

In a four-way match-up, Clinton enjoys 46 percent support this week among likely voters, while Trump holds onto 41 percent support. Gary Johnson maintains 7 percent support and Jill Stein has 3 percent support. In a two way race, Clinton enjoys a 6 point lead over Trump with 50 percent support compared to Trump’s 44 percent.

As campaigning ramps up for competitive down-ballot races, many GOP Senate and House contenders have had to make a tough decision to either support their party’s nominee or admonish him. This approval or rejection of Trump’s candidacy may have an important effect on the outcome of their races, and consequentially, the party’s ability to maintain control of the House and Senate.
