US
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is leading his Democratic
rival Hillary Clinton by 1 point nationally in the race for the White
House, a new poll shows.
The new Morning Consult survey released
on Tuesday, shows the New York billionaire is favored by 39 percent of
likely voters and the former secretary of state is backed by 38 percent.
Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson has 9 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein has 4 percent.
Trump leads Clinton 10 points, 44 to 33
percent. But Clinton has solid lead over her Republican rival among
Hispanic likely voters, 54 to 20 percent and among African-American
voters, 75 to 7 percent.
However, Clinton leads Trump by 2 points among likely voters, 44 to 42 percent, in a head-to-head matchup.
In the same poll conducted on September 15-16, Clinton had a 2-point lead over her Republican rival in a four-way matchup.
Clinton has maintained a 2.5 point lead in the most recent RealClearPolitics average of polls
In the Washington Post/ABC News
poll, also released Sunday, the two candidates were locked in a dead
heat among registered voters, each enjoying 41 percent support.
Clinton held a narrow 2-point edge over
Trump among likely voters, leading him 46 percent to 44 percent. The
slim lead falls well within the survey’s margin of error.
