Overall, the survey showed Clinton leading Trump by a razor-thin margin of 45 to 44 percent in a poll with a 2.5 percent margin of error.
But when voters were asked which candidate would be better suited to keep America safe, they gave Trump a commanding advantage despite Clinton's presumed expertise on the international scene after four years as secretary of state.
By a 37 to 27 percent margin, voters said Trump is better suited than Clinton to keep the United States safe from terrorists. Trump also won – 40 to 32 percent – on the question of which candidate would do the best job "of standing up to" China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
Pollster Tony Fabrizio, a veteran of four presidential campaigns and co-founder and partner of the firm that conducted the survey, told Newsmax: "The Clinton people should be quite alarmed that after four years as the secretary of state, Clinton trails Trump on standing up to our enemies and protecting America from terrorism."

Trump destroying Mrs. Bill. Cruz an after thought.
Trump leads the Wicked Witch in the issue that will the most important in the general election. A very good sign.
But, but, but... Trump’s negatives have now hit 200%!
Bwahahaha!
Trump didn’t know what the nuclear triad is. Doesn’t give me a warm fuzzy.
Trump didn’t know what the nuclear triad is. Doesn’t give me a warm fuzzy. ........................ His Sectary of Defense will know. A good leader doesn’t have to know it all. He only needs to surround himself with those who do, then he has to lead them, support them, provide them with the resources they need, remove all obstacles, and win. I’m sure he’ll find the right people, and they won’t be hacks that contributed to his campaign looking for appointments. I feel he’ll appoint people that will run the Gov’t like a well oiled time piece and get things back on track. He’s not the kind of person who contends with screw ups. I may be wrong, but I truly believe he will change things for the better. Look at our great 2016 great choices, A lawyer ding bat, a Commie, another Lawyer. a milquetoast, and Trump. Lots of fuzzy there! I bet the others aren’t familiar with the Nuke Triad either. What was their exposure and need to know?
But Cruz won Wisconsin. It is supposed to be all over and Trump was getting out of the race, wasn’t he?
His populatity reminds me of Obama's popularity back in the day and oh by the way, he is not now nor has he ever been a conservative; he is simply taking advantage of the people's abject (and justifiable) anger at the establishment. In short he is a populist huckster.
People are free to support (or not support) whomever they want in this country and I can not support Trump. If he is the nominee, I will probably hold my nose and vote for him over Hillary, but it will not be a vote I will enjoy.
Doesn’t Fabrizio know Trump has no chance against Clinton and once Trump gets the nomination he will send her a note surrendering? Up by a point! up by a point? NOW HOW can THAT be?
Wait until Trump actually starts attacking her. He has already forced Bubba off the field and it will get worse from now on.
Clinton leads 45/44 and Trump hasn’t even started on her yet. He has already chased Bubba off the field. BTW Trump leads Cruz in New York 56/ 22 Kasich 17 as per Emerson poll. released yesterday. Cruz will fall down past his magic/tragic number of 49 on April 19th. Then Trump starts to campaign against Romney and Rove’s scheme to have errand boy Ted try to derail him so they can steal the nomination and give it to another GOPe loser. Trump will say”A vote for Cruz is a vote for Romney” and it will work.
