Despite assuring Republicans he would beat Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton "very easily" in the general election, Donald Trump trails the former secretary of state by almost 10 points in a new poll released Wednesday.
According to the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll of registered voters, Clinton would edge Trump 50-41 percent if the two candidates went head-to-head in November. The former first lady has expanded her lead over Trump by six points since September.
Trump, the thrice-married billionaire who's been heavily criticized for his treatment of women, trails Clinton by 21 percentage points among women voters in the same poll, although he leads her by 5 percent among men.
The survey also suggests Republican voters would be less enthusiastic about voting for the New York businessman, who dubs himself a "common-sense conservative," than Democratic voters would be about supporting Clinton. While three-quarters of Republican respondents would support Trump as their party's nominee, 86 percent of Democrats would support Clinton as theirs.
Clinton also outperformed Trump among independents, 48 to 39 percent, and voters under the age of 40, and was consistently rated the more trusted candidate on handling the economy, terrorism, immigration and dealing with international crises.
