A new poll published by CNN/ORC has Donald Trump in the lead by two percentage points over Hillary Clinton among likely voters in the US presidential election in November.
The results of the survey represent a sharp turnaround from the situation just a month ago after the Democratic National Convention. In early August, Clinton led by as many as 10 points in some polls, with many pundits saying Trump had lost all his momentum.
However, it appears things have now turned around, with Trump closing the gap quickly despite having what many observers considered to be a "rough" month, with some well-known Republicans declaring support for Clinton, and Trump's campaign staff undergoing a major overhaul.
Libertarian party candidate Gary Johnson and Green party candidate Jill Stein pull in only meager support, with 7% for Johnson and 2% for Stein.
The overall numbers show Trump with a narrow lead, but the numbers split by specific demographics have huge gaps between the two main candidates.
A sharp difference between men and women is expected, and this particular poll shows that as well: 53% of women suppors Clinton versus only 38% for Trump, while men favor Trump over Hillary with a 54% to 32% gap.
Married women far more likely to support Trump
An important point to emerge from the data however, is a major difference between unmarried and married women.
While support for Clinton is extremely strong among unmarried women, among whom she leads by 53%, among married women, Trump leads by 17%.
Intriguingly, there is no such marriage gap among the men polled.
Large splits by age, race, and education
This is not the only huge gap in what is proving to be a very divisive election season.
Support for Clinton is far stronger among younger voters, where she leads 54%-29% among those under the age of 45. Trump is far ahead among older voters, 55%-34%.
Clinton leads among non-whites by a whopping 71% to 18%, while Trump enjoys a 55%-34% lead among whites.
Whites with college degrees skew toward Clinton 49%-36%, while whites without college degrees favor Trump by a 3-1 margin, 68% to 24%.
