Clinton is favoured by 49 per cent of likely voters as against Trump’s 44 per cent, according to the results of the latest poll released by CNN/ORC.
CNN described this as a “much tighter” race to the White House.
Libertarian’s Gary Johnson and the Green Party’s Jill Stein are backed by three and two per cent respectively.
According to RealClearPolitics, which keeps track of all major national polls, Trump, 70, is now trailing 68-year-old Clinton by 5.5 percentage points, the poll said yesterday.
