The presidential polls seem to be coming fast and furious this week. This one is the latest Fox News Poll. It was done between July 13th and 15th of a random national sample of 1,019 registered voters. The margin of error for both Republicans and Democrats is 5 points.
As other recent polls have shown, Donald Trump looks to be leading the GOP field for the Republican presidential nomination with 18%. He seems to have been more effective in tapping into the xenophobic anger of the Republican base. Only two candidates are within the margin of error to Trump -- Walker who is 3 points behind him, and Bush who is four points behind him. No other candidate got more than 8% (10 points behind Trump).
Fox's results for Democrats is also similar to other recent polls. It shows Hillary Clinton with 59% -- giving her a 40 point lead over Bernie Sanders (who finished second with 19%).
This survey also gave a demographic breakdown of candidate's support, and I show that for the three leading candidates in each party below. Trump's support among Republicans is pretty broad-based. He holds a significant lead in seven of the 10 demographic groups listed -- and is in a virtual tie in the other three groups. I may have to start considering him a serious contender among the Republicans.
For the Democrats, Clinton holds a big lead in all demographic groups. Sanders gets his biggest support among liberals, those under 45, those with a college degree, whites, and men. He gets at least 25% in all those groups.
