Hillary Clinton’s advantage over Donald Trump grew over the course of the last week, according to the results of the latest NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll released Tuesday.

In the same week that Clinton clinched the Democratic nomination and Trump continued his criticism of federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel, the former secretary of state leads 49 percent to 42 percent.

Clinton narrowed Trump’s lead among men and white voters to single digits over the past week and now leads Trump by 25 points — 58 percent to 33 percent — among voters describing themselves as moderate. Trump led men by 14 points in last week’s survey but now leads by only 9 points in this week’s poll — 51 percent to 42 percent. Among white voters, Trump’s lead also shrank to 9 points, 50 percent to 41 percent.

1. Not bad for being the weak candidate.

[Cha]

2. Thank you, working! Glad America is on to trump.

9. Thats right Cha!

And the more they know about the hater, the more they will turn to Hillary and the democratic party!

[leftofcool]

3. Pretty good for someone so, uh, unlikable

Go Hills!

4. I don't think the tragedy in Orlando will move the needle much either.

If anything, Clinton's calm response should earn her more votes compared to Trump's moronic ravings.

[Thinkingabout]

5. This jump is probably the result of Hillary going past the required delegate counts

Just as Trump did when he became the presumptive nominee. What will help Hillary after Orlando will be Trumps statements which shows his inability to be president and I will add Hillary was in her presidential mode on her statement. Trump is disgusting lots of Republicans, they may not vote for Hillary but perhaps the will not cast a vote for Trump.

6. They were all over this poll on Scar today. Now they all HATE Trump

Joe, Mika and every guest, Dem or Repub just shake their heads is disgust and blast him for one thing after the other. Each comparison with HRC comes out in her favor. -Even though the hosts don't seem aware of the role they played in The Rise of Trump.

12. They've made a complete 180 in their coverage of Trump.

As much as I like to see that, I don't trust them at all. It shows how much they let their personal relationship with him interfere with their reporting. They should have said the things they're saying now from the very beginning.

I think they definitely played a big role in creating this monster - I hope this isn't too little too late.

7. Wasn't one of the bern fans main arguments against Hillary

was the "fact" she couldn't win against Trump, only Bernie could?

[Her Sister]

8. kee kee kee

[caquillo]

10. They were all saying that

Including Sanders, who once again reiterated that talking point over the weekend.

[workinclasszero]

16. No comment on Bernie's statement

He's toast anyway and his opinion means squat.

We need to set our sights on Trump now.

Second place finishers can get with the program or go home to Vermont.

[athena]

11. I can't believe

42% of the country supports Donald Trump. There are too many nutcases out there. 49% to 42% is way too close. We can't take anything for granted. We must all do what we can -- donate, make calls, knock on doors, talk to everyone we know -- to make sure Clinton becomes president.

[workinclasszero]

14. Look for that number to shrink the closer we get to election day

Trump is a rolling freak show disaster for the republicans.

Every newsworthy event between now and then will expose the racist hate that fuels his campaign and drive more people to Hillary's side.

But yes by all means do all you can to see that she is elected because Trump in the white house is unthinkable.

[athena]

15. I hope you're right.

Any number above 5% is too high, in my opinion.

[workinclasszero]

17. I hear you

Its sad to think anyone would back that birther POS but he's Hate Radio's boy and unfortunately they have a sizable audience.

[William769]

13. kick & recommended.

[wisteria]

18. Hard to believe some sane people would vote for that jackass,

But I have some realities that just don't get how bad Trump is.

[NYC Liberal]

19. Hillary is going to mop the floor with this asshole.

He claimed he was going to pivot after the primaries and start acting "presidential"...claimed he could do it anytime he wanted.

He can't. He really cannot help himself because he is an ugly person and he cannot hide it.

Hillary is going to win not only because she's sane and has the right vision for the future of the country, but also because I believe most people know they could never live down having to say "I voted for Donald Trump for president."

20. But what about SURVEYMONKEY POLLS?1

[Tarheel_Dem]

21. When BS is finally dragged off the stage, kicking & screeching, her numbers will continue to grow.

[SaschaHM]

22. Bernie is beating Trump by 90 points though.

110 if you count Birds and change every contest to a caucus.
