In the previous three Fox News national polls, Clinton had defeated Trump. Last month, the former secretary of state did so by a margin of seven points.

Clinton still leads Trump by nearly four points, according to the Real Clear Politics average.

The Fox News poll also asked participants who they found “more corrupt.” 49 percent of respondents answered Clinton and 37 percent chose Trump. Eight percent said “both the same” and there remaining five percent weren’t sure.

Asked if Clinton were running “mainly for the country or herself,” 36 percent said for the country while 57 percent thought she was running to benefit herself. When participants were asked the same question about Trump, 39 percent said he thought he was running to improve the country while 56 percent perceived him as running for himself.
