Donald Trump closes in on Hillary Clinton in latest polls that show 'virtual tie'
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has closed in on his rival, Hillary Clinton, in the latest national tracking poll from Reuters/Ipsos.
Mr Trump trailed Ms Clinton in all of the major polls throughout the week, but results released on Friday appear to indicate the presidential race may be much closer than once believed.
The poll found that 40 per cent of likely voters support Mr Trump, while 39 per cent back Ms Clinton for the week of 26 August through 1 September. Ms Clinton’s lead has declined from an eight-point lead, according to Reuters.
Mr Trump’s favour among Republicans has also bounced six percentage points to 78 per cent over the past two weeks, despite controversial staff shake ups and his seemingly wavering stance on immigration. In a major policy speech on Wednesday, Mr Trump seemed to win back enthusiasm as he vowed to deport millions of undocumented immigrants during his “first hour” as president.
