Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton may be handily leading the Democratic field, but according to the latest CNN/ORC poll released Wednesday morning, real estate mogul Donald Trump is catching up in a potential general election matchup.
The former reality star polled within 6 points of the former secretary of state at 45 percent to Clinton’s 51 percent in a head-to-head matchup.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) also polled at 6 points away from Clinton, 46 percent to her 52 percent.
In other matchups, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush polled 11 points below Clinton while former technology executive Carly Fiorina polled 10 points below in the poll.
Among Democratic voters, Clinton was the first choice for president (48 percent) while voters picked Vice President Joe Biden as their second choice (37 percent).
The poll was conducted among 1,001 adults, 897 of whom were registered voters, by landline and cellphone from August 13 to 16. The margin of error, overall, was plus or minus 3 percent, and the margin of error among registered voters was plus or minus 3.5 percent.
