Trump beats Clinton by 3 points in new poll
By Harper Neidig
Donald Trump edges out Hillary Clinton by 3 percentage points in a hypothetical general election match-up, according to a new Fox News poll.
Trump has 45 percent support, while Clinton trails with 42, putting just within the poll's margin of error.
The presumptive GOP nominee is buoyed by his support among whites, leading Clinton 55 to 31 percent. That margin grows among whites without a college degree, 61 percent of whom favor Trump, while just 24 percent back Clinton.
But the real estate mogul still struggles with women voters, half of whom back Clinton, and just 36 percent support Trump.
The former secretary of State also holds commanding leads Trump among blacks (90 to 7 percent) and Hispanics (62 to 23 percent).
The poll surveyed 1,021 registered voters from May 14-17. It has a margin of error of 3 points.
