Poll: Clinton 12 points ahead of Trump nationally

Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by double digits in the first major poll since the former secretary of State secured enough delegates to become the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee.

Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by double digits in the first major poll since the former secretary of State secured enough delegates to become the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee.

The Bloomberg Politics poll, released Tuesday, had Clinton with a 12-point lead over Trump (49% to 37%) among likely voters. Libertarian candidate and former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson had 9%.

More than half of those surveyed (55%) said they would never vote for Trump.

The poll offers a glimpse into the toll Trump's comments questioning the fairness of Judge Gonzalo Curiel because of his “Mexican heritage" may be having on the real estate mogul's standing.

Bloomberg interviewed 750 likely voters for the poll conducted June 10-13. It has a margin of error of 3.6 percentage points.
