As the campaign heads into the final stretch, Hillary Clinton holds a 46 percent to 40 percent lead over Donald Trump, according to latest NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll. Libertarian Gary Johnson is down slightly from last week with 9 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein holds steady with 3 percent.
The poll was conducted online September 26 through October 2, 2016 among likely voters.
In the two-way general-election match-up, Clinton leads Trump by 6 points, 50 percent to 44 percent. The margin is virtually unchanged from last week.
In presidential election years historically, women make up a larger share of the electorate than men. In 2012, for example, 53 percent of voters were women and 47 percent were men, according to NBC News Exit Poll results.
Trump's campaign has needed to appeal to women voters in a big way and the past week—from his debate performance to his feud with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado and his reported sexist behavior during his reality TV years—has shown that he still has more work to do to secure women voters.
Among women likely voters, a majority—52 percent—said they support Clinton compared to 34 percent who said they support Trump; 8 percent of women voters said they support Johnson and 3 percent said they support Stein.
Taking a deeper look at women voters, an overwhelming majority of women who have never been married—67 percent—support Clinton. Only 18 percent of women who have never been married said they support Trump, 9 percent said they support Johnson and 4 percent said they support Stein.
