Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson earned 8 percent, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein increased her share of likely voters by 1 point to earn 4 percent.

Forty-six percent of men support Trump, along with 34 percent of women. Clinton earned a majority of women, with 52 percent supporting the Democratic candidate. Thirty-nine percent of men also support Clinton.
Clinton did well with women of all age groups, but had a much higher lead with women voters under 30, earning a 30 percent lead over Trump in that category. Clinton only carried women over 65 by 6 percentage points, earning 49 percent compared to Trump’s 43 percent support.
Trump’s lead with men only comes from those aged 45 and up. He trails Clinton by one point with male voters between the ages of 30 and 44, and by 5 percent with male voters under 30.
