The poll put Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, at 51% and Trump, the Republican nominee, at 41% in a head-to-head matchup.
"We are starting to hear the faint rumblings of a Hillary Clinton landslide as her 10-point lead is further proof that Donald Trump is in a downward spiral as the clock ticks," Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said in a statement.
Clinton's lead over Trump shrinks to 7 percentage points — 45% to Trump's 38% — when third-party candidates are added to the mix.

The poll displayed a familiar story of two massively unpopular candidates, with Clinton earning the edge because of her perceived qualifications for the nation's top job. Trump and Clinton still have low favorability ratings, but Trump's ratings were behind Clinton's — 41% of those polled said that they view Clinton favorably, while only 33% said the same for Trump.

More troubling numbers from this poll shows just how negatively voters view Trump and Clinton:
66% of voters said that Clinton is not honest.
67% of voters said that Clinton believes she doesn't have to play by the same rules as everyone else.
58% of voters said that Trump is not qualified to be president, while 66% said that Clinton is qualified.
While 87% of voters said that they think Clinton is intelligent, only 67% said the same for Trump.
59% of voters said that the way Trump talks appeals to bigotry.
"Trump's missteps, stumbles, and gaffes seem to outweigh Clinton's shaky trust status and perceived shady dealings. Wow, is there any light at the end of this dark and depressing chapter in American politics?" Malloy said.
Most national polls have shown Trump trailing Clinton in the general election. While his poll numbers have improved over the past couple of weeks, he still has a long way to go to close the gap with Clinton. A new analysis from Reuters released Thursday also showed that Clinton would have a 95% chance of winning the election if it were held today.
