Nearly two weeks into August, Hillary Clinton has maintained her post-convention bump and looks increasingly strong against her Republican rival, Donald Trump.
In a two-way matchup, she leads the businessman by six points in a new Bloomberg Politics (http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-08-10/bloomberg-politics-national-poll) poll released Wednesday — a slight decline from polls conducted in the week after the Democratic convention last month but still above the margin of error. When third party candidates like the Green Party’s Jill Stein or Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson are included, her lead shrinks more but she still maintains a slight edge.
By the numbers, Clinton leads in the Bloomberg poll 50 percent to 44 percent among likely voters in a two-way contest. Part of that lead is accountable to a greater consolidation of Democratic voters compared to the level of consensus seen within the Republican Party. If Clinton was worried about attracting supporters from her Democratic primary challenger, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, she likely isn’t now: She gleans 94 percent of the Democratic Party vote as a whole and 93 percent of Sanders supporters, the poll shows.
