A new McClatchy-Marist poll shows Hillary Clinton heads into the first presidential debate with a seven point lead over Donald Trump, 48% to 41%.
However, the poll also shows doubts among voters about about her trustworthiness and stamina are keeping Trump in the race.
Said pollster Lee Miringoff: “You wouldn’t bet for Clinton. But you certainly wouldn’t bet against her at this time.”
A new AP-GfK poll shows Clinton leading by six points, 45% to 39%.
