Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton in dramatic new poll giving him 45 percent to the Democratic frontrunner's 40 percent
- The Donald's major flaps regarding harsh comments directed at women and minorities haven't hurt his poll numbers
- Hillary Clinton has lost 13 points against Trump since May as email scandal won't go away
President Donald?
A new poll is showing that GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump is beating Hillary Clinton 45 percent to 40 percent.
That's a huge change from the results of the same poll in May that came in with Clinton trouncing Trump 58 percent to 30 percent.
Trump's controversial stance on immigration, his 'menstruation' comment toward Fox's Megyn Kelly, and his stumbling on foreign policy questions don't seem to have hurt the swirly-haired real estate mogul in the polls - in fact, they helped.
Clinton's email scandal only seems to have hurt her poll numbers, however.

It's not just Trump's hair that defies gravity, it's his recent poll numbers which show him beating Hillary Clinton
Most of Trump's voter base is male; given a choice between Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders, the two were basically tied for female voters
According to SurveyUSA, Trump also leads the pack of other presidential potentials.
The reality star billionaire beats out Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) by 44 percent to 40 percent and Vice President Joe Biden (who has not declared his candidacy) by 44 percent to 42 percent.
He also beats former Vice President Al Gore, who won the popular vote in 2000 and has not thrown his hat in the ring, by 44 percent to 41 percent.

Following Bush in order were retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).
Thirty percent of the 900 registered voters polled think that Trump will be the Republican nominee, with 20 percent giving it to Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
Clinton's poll numbers have suffered since email-gate, but she's still popular with female voters
Trump's lags with a female base: Fifty percent of the poll's Trump voters are male, while 39 percent are female. And if the only two people on the ballot were Trump and Bernie Sanders, female voters say they'd vote for Sanders over Trump 40 percent to 39 percent.
Of the voters who said they would cast their ballot for Clinton, eight percent said they would do so 'holding their nose.'
However, Clinton supporters should take solace in that the poll's stated 3.3 percent margin of error means that The Donald and Clinton are essentially in a dead heat.
