Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's lead over Donald Trump is widening even as favorability ratings for the Republican nominee are falling.

The newly released national poll from Fox News shows Clinton with a 7 point lead over Trump. The poll found 45 percent of likely voters planned to support the former Secretary of State; 38 percent said they were backing Trump. Libertarian Gary Johnson is at 7 percent; Green Party candidate Jill Stein is at 3 percent.

The numbers represent a 5 point swing in Clinton's favor in the last week following allegations of Trump's improper treatment of women. The poll was conducted just after the second presidential debate between the two leading candidates and after the latest WikiLeaks release of a trove of emails from the Clinton campaign.

In a two-way race, Clinton is at 49 percent compared to Trump's 41 percent, a 4 point increase for Democrats from last week.

Who is voting Clinton? Who is voting for Trump?

The Fox News poll shows Clinton is up by 62 points among non-whites; 24 points among suburban women; and 16 points among all voters younger than 30. Trump is up 5 points among men; 14 points among whites; and 25 points among whites without a college degree.

The numbers also reflect the apparent impact of the 2005 video tape in which Trump makes sexually aggressive comments towards women. In the last week, the largest decline in support for the Republican nominee is among women ages 45 and older, where the Republican nominee saw a 12 point decline in just a week. Trump is also down among voters age 65 and older (11 points); suburban women (10 points); white women with a college degree (7 points); Republican women (6 points); and white college graduates (6 points).

White evangelicals remains steadily in Trump's camp, with 68 percent saying they back the GOP nominee. Among regular church goers, however, the businessman-turned-politican's support dropped 8 points from 53 to 45 percent.

Independent voters remain split - each giving 35 percent to Clinton and Trump - with another 21 percent supporting Johnson and Stein. Trump was up 12 points among independents in late September.

For Trump, the hits keep coming

The Fox poll showed neither candidate is considered a good role model for children, though Trump's numbers are particularly dismal.

Fifty-four percent of those polled said Clinton was a good role model for children; 20 percent said the same for Trump. Seventy-seven percent said Trump was not a good role model for children.

Clinton also topped Trump on every issue, with more voters trusting her to handle foreign policy, health care, terrorism, immigration and the economy.

And while Trump's favorability rating among his own party has fallen 11 points - 84 percent to 73 percent - a growing number of general voters said they expect to see America get its first female president. Sixty-five percent of those polled said they expect Clinton to win in a November, up 10 points from last week and 19 points from June.

About 23 percent said they think Trump will be the next president.

Polling average

According to RealClearPolitics national polling average, Clinton has a 7 point lead on Trump. The margin varies from a 5 point advantage in the Economist/YouGov poll to 11 points from The Atlantic/PRRI. The LA Times/USC Tracking poll shows the two candidates are tied.

The average shows a noticeable change from only a few weeks ago when Clinton was at 45 percent and Trump was at 44 percent.
