Clinton’s lead over Trump shrinks to two points
US Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s national lead over her Republican rival Donald Trump has shrunk to two points with Election Day just three days away, a new poll shows.
The former secretary of state has the support of 45 percent of likely voters, while the billionaire businessman has 43 percent support, according to a new Fox News poll released Friday night.
Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson has 5 percent support among likely voters, while Green Party nominee Jill Stein has 2 percent support. Four percent of likely voters are still undecided.
Clinton leads by just 1 point, 46 percent to 45 percent, in a hypothetical two-way race. She was holding a 5-point lead over Trump nationally without third-party candidates in the mix.
According to the Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation project released earlier on Friday, Trump has gained ground in several states that were leaning toward Clinton as Election Day draws closer.
Trump and Clinton are now tied in Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio with the November 8 presidential election just four days away. In Michigan, Clinton's lead over her Republican rival has decreased so much that the state is now too close to call.
Trump has to prevail in both Florida and North Carolina to have a good chance of winning the November 8 election, but Clinton could lose both states and still clinch the White House.
These polls are the latest sign that the race has tightened in recent weeks. In late October, Clinton was averaging a 7-point lead, which has now narrowed to a 2.3-point lead in the RealClearPolitics polling index.
The tightening of the polls comes after FBI Director James Comey dropped a bombshell on the Clinton campaign last week by announcing the revival of the investigation into thousands of new emails sent by Clinton as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.
