Democrat Hillary Clinton dropped several points this week to lead Donald Trump by only 3 points on Friday.
This comes after a week of lies about her illegal email server and reckless use of top secret documents.
INN reported:
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s lead over Republican rival Donald Trump has narrowed to less than 3 percentage points, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Friday.
Polls released just at the beginning of the week found that Clinton had a larger lead, ranging from 7% in a CBS poll to as high as 9% in CNN/ORC’s poll.
Friday’s poll found that about 42 percent of likely voters favored Clinton, to Trump’s 39 percent.
The poll, taken between July 31 and August 4 had a credibility interval of plus or minus 3 percentage points, meaning that the results suggest the race is roughly even.
Among registered voters over the same period, Clinton held a lead of five percentage points, down from eight percentage points on Monday, according to the poll.
The reasons behind the shift were unclear.
