Hillary Clinton's favorability among all women surveyed swung dramatically negative over the past month. | AP Photo Poll: Clinton just as unpopular as Trump with voters

Hillary Clinton is now just as unpopular as Donald Trump among registered voters, according to the results of the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, released Wednesday after another month of headlines about her email scandal and increased scrutiny about the relationship between her family's foundation and work at the State Department.

Approximately 46 percent of registered voters said they had a favorable opinion of Clinton in early August. That figure dropped 8 points, to 38 percent, in the latest survey, with nearly 6 in 10 (59 percent) holding an unfavorable opinion of the former secretary of state, an increase of 7 points from earlier in the month. Clinton's favorability among all women surveyed swung dramatically negative over the past month, going from a net positive 11 points (54 percent to 43 percent) to a net negative 7 points (45 percent to 52 percent), while her standing among men also decreased, to a lesser degree.


Clinton's standing also fell among Democrats, going from a net positive 76 points (87 percent to 11 percent) to 61 points in late August (79 percent to 18 percent). Independents' approval of Clinton fell by 8 points over the past month, 39 percent to 31 percent, while Trump's support among that group fell by a similar margin.

Registered voters' overall opinion of Trump held steady over the past month, with 37 percent saying they had a positive view of the Republican nominee and 60 percent a negative one. The previous poll showed 36 percent favorable and 61 percent unfavorable for Trump. Among men, Trump's favorability has fallen by 6 points in the past month, as female voters' views of him have ticked upward, from 26 percent favorable in early August to 33 percent in the latest poll.

The poll was conducted via landlines and cellphones from Aug. 24-28, surveying a random national sample of 1,020 adults, with an overall margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
