A poll released Tuesday shows Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton with a double-digit lead over Donald Trump in the key battleground state of Virginia.

Roanoke College polled likely voters and found Clinton leading with 48 percent, Trump behind with 32 percent, Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson at 8 percent, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein at 3 percent. In a two-way race, Clinton’s lead grows to 19 points. Roanoke College polled Trump and Clinton head-to-head in May and the two candidates were tied.

Obama won Virginia in 2012 with 50.8 percent of the vote, Mitt Romney got 47.8 percent.

Polls have shown Trump with a consistent strong lead among white voters and male voters, but the Roanoke College poll had Trump losing among men 41 percent to 43 percent. The poll of likely Virginia voters showed Trump with a slim lead among white voters 41 percent to 38 percent, while Clinton lead among non-white voters 80 percent to 4 percent.

Hillary lead Trump among all age groups in the poll. A demographic group that Trump did lead with was likely voters with a high school education or less, 49 percent to 31 percent. Clinton was ahead of Trump among voters with a bachelor’s degree or higher, 58 percent to 25 percent.

As as been found in all polls, both major candidates are suffering from poor favorability ratings in Virginia. Thirty-nine percent viewed Clinton favorably and 45 percent view her unfavorably. Trump was viewed favorably by 23 percent of likely voters polled and unfavorably by 63 percent of them. The Virginia poll also found that voters believed Clinton was more suited for addressing the economy, terrorism, immigration, and foreign policy.

Roanoke College polled 803 likely voters between August 7 and August 17. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
