Clinton secures double-digit lead over Trump: Poll

The Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 46 percent of registered voters support a Clinton presidency, giving here an 11-point edge over Trump who was trailing Clinton by 35 percent.
 
The surprising shift in support comes after Trump virtually tied Clinton in various polls conducted in mid-May, raising expectations for a tight race between the two likely contenders in November's presidential election.
 
The rise in Clinton’s support is attributed by analysts to her escalation of attacks against the real estate mogul’s policies.
 
In a fiery foreign policy speech in San Diego, California, on Thursday, the former secretary of state unleashed a blistering criticism of Trump, calling him an unstable person who is too "dangerous" and “unfit" to be president.
 
"Donald Trump's ideas aren't just different -- they are dangerously incoherent," Clinton said. "They're not even really ideas -- just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies."
 
"He's not just unprepared -- he's temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability and immense responsibility," she continued.
 
Since Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee in early May, Clinton has directly challenged his ability to handle foreign policy issues and has taken to labeling him a "loose cannon" who will make it more difficult for Washington to operate on the global stage.
 
Trump has also been busy fending off attacks over his eponymous university, which Clinton has called a “fraudulent scheme.”
 
A slew of former students of Trump University have accused the now-defunct university of fraud, saying they were misled and left saddled with debt.
 
Clinton is hoping to seal the nomination next week, when six delegate-rich states, including New Jersey and California, will hold primaries.
