Winner

The only things certain in the United States these days are death, taxes -- and Hillary Clinton becoming President on Nov. 8. Trump's campaign, on the other hand, has admitted its candidate is on the losing end.

The latest polls show Clinton increasing her lead to a double digit advantage over her self-destructing opponent, Donald Trump, who's seems to be conceding defeat by claiming the election is rigged and will be rigged against him by his own Republican Party and the Democrats.

Some of Trump's more rabid diehards are talking of igniting a civil war should the clown prince of bigotry lose to Clinton.

But polls show Clinton either maintaining or increasing her already formidable lead over Trump.

A new ABC News tracking poll on Oct. 23 shows Clinton with a 12-point lead over Trump and has reached 50% support nationally among likely voters.

The poll shows Clinton with 50% support to Trump's 38%. Another 5% are backing Libertarian Gary Johnson while 2% supported the Green Party's Jill Stein.

The poll comes after the third presidential debate on Oct. 20, which a post-debate CNN/ORC snap poll showed Clinton won.

The ABC News survey's results show Clinton with a 20-point advantage among women, and a 3-point edge with men -- a group that's leaned toward Trump for most of the 2016 race.

The results showing Clinton with a growing lead largely match CNN's Poll of Polls, which averages recent national surveys. That Poll of Polls shows Clinton ahead 48% to Trump's 39%.

Clinton leads among voters of all education levels. Her 3-point advantage among those without college degrees, however, is smaller than her 20-point lead among voters with college degrees.

Trump's strongest supporters are white, non-college educated voters that are behind him 55% to 36%.

The ABC News poll was conducted October 20-22 and includes 874 likely voters. Its margin of error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

A CBS News poll of battleground states that suggests Clinton is a stone's throw away from being able to win Texas. Trump only has a 3-point lead in the traditional red state, which is well within the poll's margin of error. Clinton has an identical lead in Florida, according to the poll.
