Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by four points in an ABC/Washington Post national poll conducted in the days following the second presidential debate.

Clinton leads among likely voters nationwide, 50-46. When third-party candidates are included in the poll, Clinton still leads by four points, 47-43, with Libertarian Gary Johnson at 5 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 2 percent among likely voters.

Her lead has increased by two points since ABC/Washington Post conducted a poll in late September, when the former Secretary of State led 49-47.

Clinton also led by two points in the four-way poll from September, 46-44, with Johnson at 5 percent and Stein at 1 percent.

The ABC/Washington Post poll was conducted via live telephone interview among 740 likely voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus three percent.
