The former Secretary of State is ahead of [Trump](http://time.com/4402724/donald-trump-dallas-violence-warning/?xid=homepage) by 46% to 33% among likely voters, a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll shows. Another 21% did not support either candidate. The poll, which surveyed 1,146 likely voters in the country between July 8 and July 12, also found that half of likely voters now say they have a favorable view of Clinton. That’s compared to the roughly 60% of people polled who say they have an unfavorable view of Trump, according to Reuters. The poll is notable because it comes after the FBI criticized Hillary Clinton’s email practices while secretary of state, but [declined to recommend criminal charges against her](http://time.com/4393271/james-comey-fbi-hillary-clinton-email/). The Reuters/Ipsos poll has a measure of accuracy of 3 percentage points. \[[_Reuters_](http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-poll-idUSKCN0ZS2MO?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&utm%5Fsource=twitter&utm%5Fmedium=Social)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4403680/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-poll-13-points/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4403680/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-poll-13-points/"},"headline":"New Poll Shows Hillary Clinton With a 13-Point Lead Over Donald Trump","datePublished":"2016-07-12T21:34:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T09:53:53.257Z","description":"Clinton leads Trump by 46% to 33%","url":"https://time.com/4403680/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-poll-13-points/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0d1ec431616abc21/69889bab8e0601faee466ab7/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-poll.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Chan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-chan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0d1ec431616abc21/69889bab8e0601faee466ab7/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-poll.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"ATLANTIC CITY, NJ - JULY 06: Democratic Presidential candidate","caption":"Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks in front the shuttered Trump Plaza casino on the boardwalk of Atlantic City, NJ, on July 06, 2016.","creditText":"The Washington Post—The Washington Post/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4403680/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-poll-13-points/","name":"New Poll Shows Hillary Clinton With a 13-Point Lead Over Donald Trump"}}]}] ```
