Hillary Clinton expanded her lead in Ohio to 10 points in a Baldwin Wallace University poll, conducted after the second debate and the release of video showing Donald Trump’s vile sexual comments about women.

Clinton leads the head-to-head poll against the businessman, 48-38, among likely voters in Ohio.

When third-party candidates are included, the former Secretary of State leads by nine points, 43-34, with Libertarian Gary Johnson at 10 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 3 percent.

Baldwin Wallace University has not recently polled the general election in Ohio. The most recent Ohio poll, conducted by CBS/YouGov before the weekend’s news shakeup, showed Clinton leading by four points, 46-42, with Johnson at 5 percent and Stein at 2 percent.

The Baldwin Wallace University poll, conducted from the end of the second debate on Oct. 9 until Oct. 11, surveyed 1,152 likely Ohio voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus three percent.

TPM’s PollTracker Average for the election in Ohio shows Clinton leading Trump, 47.3 to 41.6.
