Hillary Clinton holds a six-point lead over Donald Trump in a new post-debate CNN/ORC nationwide poll, reversing a Trump lead in the pollster’s data from earlier this month.

Clinton leads by six points in the head-to-head match, 51-45, among likely voters polled nationwide.

When third-party candidates are included, Clinton leads by five points, 47-42, with Libertarian Gary Johnson following at 7 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 2 percent.

When CNN/ORC polled nationally at the beginning of September, Trump held a single point over Clinton in the head-to-head match. His lead expanded to two points, 45-43, with third party candidates, with Johnson at 7 percent and Stein at 2 percent.

The CNN/ORC poll was conducted Sept. 28-Oct. 4 among 1,213 likely voters nationwide, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent.

TPM’s PollTracker Average for the general election shows Clinton leading Trump, 48.3 to 42.2.
