Clinton up by 4 points in new national poll

The Hill reports:
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton holds a 4-point lead nationally over presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump in a Quinnipiac University Poll released early Wednesday.

The former secretary of State tops the businessman, 45 to 41 percent.

If third-party candidates are factored in, however, the race is too close to call. Clinton would get 40 percent, pollsters found, to Trump’s 38 percent. Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson would take 5 percent, and 3 percent would go to Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

Pollsters also found that both Clinton and Trump are unpopular with most voters.

Fifty-seven percent have a "very unfavorable" or "strongly unfavorable" perception of Clinton. Only 37 percent, meanwhile, have a "strongly favorable" or "somewhat favorable" view of the Democratic presidential front-runner.
