Clinton leads Trump by 6 points, 47 to 41 percent, among registered voters in a hypothetical general election matchup, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll

The poll comes on the heels of two other national surveys this week, from Fox News and Rasmussen Reports, that showed Trump with a single-digit lead.

Both Trump and Clinton remain deeply unpopular among voters, despite Trump status as his party's presumptive nominee and Clinton holding a huge delegate lead over Sanders.

Fifty-five percent of registered voters view Trump unfavorably, compared to 26 percent who view him favorably, while 52 percent view Clinton unfavorably, compared to 31 percent who view her favorably.

Sanders, meanwhile, is viewed more favorably than not, 41 to 33 percent.

The survey also shows that an overwhelming majority of Republican voters, 8 in 10, say GOP leaders should support Trump even if they disagree with him on key issues.

The survey of 1,300 adults, including 1,109 registered voters, was conducted May 13–17 via landlines and cellphones with an overall margin of error of 3 percentage points.
