Outspoken Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump beats Democrat Hillary Clinton in a head-to-head battle by two points in a newly released national poll.

A Rasmussen Reports survey has Trump winning 38 percent to 36 percent, with 22 percent of likely voters going to a "some other candidate."

The results show that Clinton remains in some trouble with the general electorate, but also that many voters are still looking for somebody else to vote for.

Clinton wins 70 percent of Democrats, but another 30 percent are looking for an alternative. Trump wins among men, while Clinton takes the most women.

The poll also put Republican Carly Fiorina up against Clinton, and she loses 40 percent to 34 percent.
