National poll: Clinton leads Trump by 6 points

[DonViejo]

Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by 6 points nationally, according to a new poll released Wednesday.

Clinton (D) has 43 percent support among likely voters, the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found, while Trump (R) is at 37 percent. Third-party presidential candidates combine for 12 percent support, with Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson at 9 percent and Green Party nominee Jill Stein at 3 percent.

Fifty percent of Clinton supporters say they are voting affirmatively for Clinton, while 44 percent say they are backing her out of opposition to Trump. In contrast, 51 percent of Trump's backers say their vote is primarily out of opposition to Clinton.

The poll is a positive sign for the Democratic nominee, who has faced tightening polls in recent weeks.

1. I'm ignoring all polls.

None of them can be trusted at this point.

Or so I'm told.
