Hillary Clinton's unfavorability rating has reached a new high just eight days before the presidential election, and is now higher that Donald Trump's unfavorable rating, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll released Monday.

Sixty percent of voters now hold a negative opinion of the Democratic presidential hopeful, putting her in a slightly worse position than Trump, who has a 58 percent rating. The poll was taken Oct. 26-29 and included two nights of results that came after FBI Director James Comey announced the reopening of its investigation into Clinton's handling of classified material.

Clinton supporters who were surveyed after the FBI bombshell were less likely to say they were "very enthusiastic" about their candidate, compared to those who were interviewed before Comey's announcement on Friday.

Nearly seven in 10 white voters view Clinton unfavorably, including 56 percent who hold a strongly negative view of the former secretary of state, while 53 percent hold an unfavorable view of Trump. The Democratic nominee's unfavorable rating is 13 points higher among men than women and reaches nearly 80 percent among white men without a college degree.

Meanwhile, Trump does worst among nonwhite voters. Only 22 percent view him favorably, compared to 59 percent who hold a positive opinion of Clinton.

Thirty-seven percent of respondents in the survey of 1,165 likely U.S. voters described themselves as Democrats, while 27 percent identified as Republican and 30 percent as independent. Results contain a margin of error plus or minus 3 percentage points.
