Trump's support has dropped 6 points since mid-May, while Clinton's has remained the same from last month's poll that found Trump leading 45 to 42 percent after his last GOP rivals dropped out of the primary.

The businessman's support among self-identified Republicans has dropped 3 points in the past several weeks, while he's fallen 11 points among independents, according to the latest poll.

Trump and Clinton remain largely disliked, with a majority of voters saying that both candidates lack the integrity to be president — 54 percent for Clinton, and 58 percent for Trump.

Far more voters view Clinton as qualified compared to Trump: 69 percent say Clinton is "very" or "somewhat" qualified, while 47 percent say the same of Trump, with more than twice as many saying Clinton is "very" qualified than him.

The survey was conducted this week as Clinton moved to locked up the remaining delegates needed to clinch the Democratic nomination.

It also came amid intense criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike for Trump claiming a federal judge overseeing a lawsuit against Trump University was biased due to his Mexican heritage.

Many expect Clinton to receive a bump in national polling after becoming her party's presumptive nominee and hitting the campaign trail to focus solely on Trump.



Clinton and Trump exchanged Twitter barbs on Thursday, with Trump saying Obama endorsed Clinton because he wants a third term as president and Clinton telling Trump, "Delete your account."

The survey of 1,004 registered voters was conducted June 5–8 via landlines and cellphones with a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
