Source: Nydaily

Hillary Clinton leads the presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump by six points in a new national poll — but voters really wish they had another choice.

The Democratic presidential front-runner has the edge — 47% to 41% — among voters in a potential November race, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll.

Nonetheless, both candidates remain unpopular.

A whopping 55% said they view Trump unfavorably, compared to 26 percent who view him favorably. Meanwhile, 52% view Clinton unfavorably, and just 31% favorably.
