Clinton Leads But Enthusiasm Gap Could Hurt Her

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows Hillary Clinton maintains a lead over Donald Trump, 46% to 41%, with Gary Johnson at 9% and Jill Stein at 2%, “but lagging interest among some of her supporters poses a potential turnout challenge for Democrats with less than nine weeks before Election Day.”

“Trump’s supporters report greater interest in the campaign and voting, which could factor into turnout. More than 6 in 10 registered voters who support Trump say they are following the campaign very closely, and 93% say they are absolutely certain to vote. By contrast, 45% of Clinton backers are paying close attention to the race, and 80% are certain to vote, while one-fifth say they will probably or are less likely to cast a ballot.”
