Forty-six percent of registered voters in the poll said they would vote for the Democratic nominee compared to 39 percent who said they'd support Trump. Another 15 percent were unsure.

The poll found similar support within parties for the respective presidential nominees, with 88 percent of Democratic voters saying they'd vote for their party's nominee and 85 percent of GOP voters saying they'd vote for Trump. Seven percent in each group said they'd buck their party.

Among independents, Trump currently trails by 8 points against a generic Democratic nominee, 30 to 38 percent, while the poll found that more than a third of independents are still unsure who they will vote for in the fall.

The poll also found that women were more likely to support the Democratic nominee than men, with 52 percent of female voters choosing the Democratic candidate compared to 41 percent of male voters.

Molly Murphy, a Democratic pollster and partner at ALG Research, pointed to the gender gap as a potential warning sign for the president.

"Trump continues to struggle with women voters, and if he is not able to close that gap he is going to have a very difficult time in his reelection," she told The Hill.

"Thankfully, the quote ‘Democratic Nominee’ will not be listed on the ballot in November. It will be the name of one of two men, both of whom already carry net negative images among the American voters. A ballot test against a spotless generic opponent is wishcasting," he told The Hill.

The Hill-HarrisX poll was conducted online among 1,001 registered voters between Feb. 14-15. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
