ABC News Tracking Poll: HRC up by 5

The ABC News-Washington Post tracking poll shows Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump nationally by five points, 48% to 43%.

Key finding: “Even though both candidates are remarkably unpopular, there’s more affirmative voting for Clinton than for Trump, a factor that can motivate turnout. A majority of her supporters mainly support her, rather than opposing Trump. That’s pretty much reversed for Trump: 51 percent of his backers mainly oppose Clinton, rather than supporting him.”

The finding that Trump's support is weak should have a 2-3% effect in votes cast. In other words some of his "supporters" will find a reason not to vote.
