Hillary +8 In New Reuters Nationwide Poll

The Hill reports:

Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump is up to 8 points nationwide with less than a month before the presidential election, according to a new poll released Tuesday. Clinton has 45 percent support to Trump’s 37 percent among likely voters in the Reuters/Ipsos survey. Last week’s version of the same poll found the Democratic nominee ahead by just 5 points.

Clinton has surged in the polls following last week’s release of a controversial recording from 2005, in which Trump discusses his failed sexual advances on a married woman and groping women’s genitals without consent. Uproar over the lewd remarks has split the GOP, with Trump and his supporters openly clashing with establishment Republicans like Speaker Paul Ryan (Wis.).
