Clinton leads Trump by 10 in national poll

Hillary Clinton has opened up a 10-point national lead over Donald Trump in the Quinnipiac University poll of likely voters out Thursday, the latest sign of the Democratic nominee's sturdy momentum as Trump wades through self-inflicted controversies.
Among those likely to vote in November, Clinton grabbed 51 percent in a head-to-head matchup, while Trump earned 41 percent.
The survey entered the field last Thursday, a day after Trump shook up his leadership structure, naming pollster Kellyanne Conway as campaign manager and Breitbart executive Steve Bannon as CEO. Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign chairman, resigned Friday following a cascade of negative stories about his work for the pro-Kremlin former president of Ukraine, as the Trump team sought to articulate the candidate’s shifting message on immigration, arguably his signature campaign issue.
Clinton’s double-digit lead, more than double her previous weekly RealClearPolitics average of 5 points, comes even as the Democratic nominee faced renewed scrutiny over the connections between her family’s foundation and her work as secretary of state.
