Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump has increased to seven points, as more than half of voters say he is not qualified to be president.
That’s according to a just-released national Fox News Poll of likely voters.
Clinton receives 45 percent to Trump’s 38 percent. Libertarian Gary Johnson is at 7 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein gets 3 percent. Last week, Clinton was up by two points in the four-way contest (44-42 percent).
In the two-way matchup, it’s Clinton over Trump by eight (49-41 percent). She had a four-point edge a week ago (48-44 percent, Oct. 3-6).
Clinton’s lead is outside the poll’s margin of sampling error in both the two-way and four-way contests.
The poll, out Thursday, was conducted Monday-Wednesday. The second presidential debate was Sunday. On Friday, The Washington Post made public a hot-mic recording of Trump from Access Hollywood. On the same day, WikiLeaks began its release of hacked emails from the Clinton campaign, revealing more on Monday through Wednesday.

This is a Fox poll, so her lead is probably much higher.
Sorry to say. But based on the comments on YWN I just get more convinced with my choice of whom not to vote for. (Whether you like Hillary or not, she was definitely right when she called the Trump supporters a basket of “deplorables”. Sorry again to all those who just got very offended.
