Hillary Clinton maintains a lead over Donald Trump, but lagging interest among some of her supporters poses a potential turnout challenge for Democrats with less than nine weeks before Election Day, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Clinton holds a 46 percent to 41 percent edge over Trump among likely voters, followed by Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson at 9 percent and the Green Party’s Jill Stein at 2 percent. Clinton’s lead swells to 10 percentage points among the wider swath of registered voters, 45 percent to 35 percent, similar to her 45 percent to 37 percent edge last month.
The findings come at a time when the margins between Clinton and Trump have narrowed in some battleground states and when some national polls also have shown a tightening in the competition. Heading toward the first presidential debate on Sept. 26, though, Trump still appears to have the more challenging route to victory.

+10 RAT and she is only beating him by a lousy 5 points?
What a crock of crap
At best it will be +2 D.
Usual push poll BS trick of oversampling Democrats.
No one believes turnout will be D +10.
Especially when Hillary is flat-lining.
And registered voter polls heavily favor Democrats so they’re worthless.
They need to prop up Hillary and releasing faked polls is integral to it.
Just completely dishonest.
Pure unadulterated crap at that!
Hillary ahead in the polls(*)!!
(*) (in Bizarro-World)
And now, the real news:
Trump lives rent-free inside the WaPo editor hive collective consciousness!!
Go Trump Go!!
If its even or R +1 or R +2, Trump is probably well ahead.
But that wouldn’t help Hillary, so they’re not going to come anywhere near the real Election Day turnout.
Cue ball Bezos and little Steffy Stephanopoulos moron polling.
Not much value as there are no cross-tabs. Only historical top-lines. What is WaPo hiding, especially with a D+10 poll?
BULL SH** POLL....WASHINGTON POST...ENOUGH SAID...
A poll loaded with Democrats and the best they can do is give her a 5 point lead that exists only because the party ID is wildly inflated.
And of course they tout registered voters giving Hillary a double-digit lead knowing full well half of them never show up to vote.
Yeah, in a Common Core math universe - Hillary could still win. Just not in ours.
This has made her so confident she is taking 5 days off. lol
In the real world, Hillary is not going get more than 40% - maybe less as shown in some state polls that have her share in the high 30s.
That’s closer to the mark than the new ABC-Washington Post poll.
Its not a serious poll, its designed to sell an agenda.
Pure, unadulterated BS. Projectile.
Takeaway - despite a massive D +10 party ID, Hillary still cannot get over 50%.
In the worst polls, her max is 45%, in more reputable polls, its 5-7% lower.
I’m betting the latter is closer to reality than the former.
We’ll see which one is accurate on November 8.
If Hillary was as popular as the MSM claims, they wouldn’t have to resort to funny math to make her look good. It would be obvious.
They have to run liars’ polls because she’s not all that popular and they know it. There’s no real enthusiasm for her.
And if Hillary was that popular, she’d be stumping every day trying to actually win the election.
She counting on her lapdog media to do all the heavy lifting for her.
how high will they go by November to keep her ahead? D+20?
The controlled MSM are putting out these fake polls. They are trying to create the false perception that people like Hillary. That way in case they can steal the election.
This is even though Hillary’ rallies are tiny and few compared to Trump’s that are many and huge wherever he goes.
Trump has already won over the people in my estimate.
