They are statistically tied, because the poll’s survey of almost 800 registered voters September 12-16 has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points. Another 6 percent intend to vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 1 percent support Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
The poll results are based on a survey of 644 likely voters interviewed from September 12 through September 16.
The poll was conducted over four days through Monday and has a margin of error of +4.9 percent. He has campaigned in the state every week for the past few weeks and plans two rallies here today, one in High Point and the other in Duplin County.
Monmouth’s poll produced another unfavorable finding for Trump: 54 per cent of Florida voters believe the GOP nominee’s recent turnabout on President Barack Obama’s origins was made for political reasons.
Clinton and Trump maintain large advantages in North Carolina with key constituencies – Clinton receives the support of 98% of black voters, while Trump is backed by 65% of white voters.

Most Florida voters (75 percent) said they have heard about Trump’s recent admission that Barack Obama was born in the US but doubt the GOP nominee’s sincerity. Clinton, a Democrat, holds a 53-47 edge with women. They’re about even on the question of who would be better for the middle class.
