(VOVworld) – 2 latest polls in the US last week showed that former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton has gained a broader advantage against billionaire Donald Trump in the race for the White House.

A Washington Post – ABC News poll revealed on Monday that support for Clinton is 12% higher than that for Trump (with 51% - 39%) while support was at 46% for Clinton and 41% for Trump, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. Both polls showed that Trump is in a difficult phase following his recent firing of campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, struggles to call for funds, and his controversial views on race.

In the Washington Post – ABC News poll, Clinton’s advantage proves Trump’s declining credibility while the smaller gap of 5% in the wall Street Journal/NBC News poll signals Trump’s determination to fight on.
