Hillary Clinton widened her lead over Donald Trump to 10 points in the NBC/SurveyMonkey national tracking poll released Tuesday morning.

Clinton’s lead jumped by two points from a 50-42 lead in last week’s tracking poll to a 51-41 lead this week.

She still has a six point lead over Trump when third-party candidates are added to the question. The results then were Clinton 44, Trump 38, Libertarian Gary Johnson 10, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein 4.

NBC News/Survey Money polled 11,480 registered voters online August 1-7 with a margin of error plus or minus 1.2 percentage points.
