Hillary Clinton holds a commanding lead over Donald Trump in Virginia, with disdain for the Republican presidential nominee helping Clinton overcome her own vulnerabilities, a new Washington Post poll finds. [National poll finds Clinton has widened lead over Trump to 8 points]But this is not an enthusiastic electorate for either candidate. By a similar margin, more Trump backers are strongly negative toward Clinton than positive toward Trump. The state’s white voters still give the edge to Trump, who leads Clinton among that group by eight percentage points. Trump leads by 16 points among the half of Virginia voters whose households own a gun, but Clinton leads by 48 points among all other voters.
