The UPI/CVoter daily presidential tracking poll released Friday shows Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by 2.3 percentage points.

The F&M poll’s margin of error is plus-minus 4.6 percentage points and plus-minus 5.6 percentage points for the likely voters.

And, Trump now gets the nod from voters on protecting the country from terrorism (41/40 percent), handling the economy (42/40 percent) and being honest and trustworthy (33/27 percent) when Clinton had the advantage on those traits in July.

Reuters shows Trump even closer now than right after the Republican convention, and again, it reflects a dramatic drop in Hillary’s support as the primary driver of the race’s tightening.

For the first time, Fox included a four-way presidential ballot with Johnson and Stein in its poll. Three percent (3%) like some other candidate, and seven percent (7%) are undecided.

Among registered voters, the two nominees have near-identical unfavorable ratings – 59 percent for Clinton and 60 percent for Trump. Clinton leads among white women (45/38 percent) and nonwhite voters (70/25 percent), and Trump leads with white men (41/38 percent).

Clinton holds an average lead of 42 percent to 37 percent over Trump, five nationwide polls show.

Clinton’s support has been trending down from a high of 44 percent in early August just after the Democratic National Convention.

The former secretary of state was viewed negatively by 59 per cent of voters and her Republican rival Trump by 64 per cent, according to the NBC News and the Survey Monkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll issued on August 16. Trump, who hasn’t announced how much he raised last month, pulled in about $80 million for his campaign and the Republican Party in July, ending that month with $74 million in the bank.

Clinton’s lead over Trump in the battleground state of Wisconsin shrunk in two polls published Wednesday.

In that interview, Clinton said she “did not recall receiving any emails she thought should not be on an unclassified system”, the Federal Bureau of Investigation documents say, according to The New York Times. The polls in MI and Pennsylvania were conducted between August 25 to 28.

Trump has moved ahead of Hillary in the latest poll from Rasmussen at 40 per cent to Clinton's 39
