Poll: Clinton retakes national lead from Trump

Red Oak Strategic conducted its latest sampling of 873 likely voters via online interviews from Sept. 29 to Sept. 30. It has a margin of error of 3.3 percentage points.

Multiple polls since the first presidential debate a week ago have found Clinton enjoying a modest boost with voters at both the national and state levels.

A Politico/Morning Consult survey published Monday, for example, found Clinton with a 6-point edge over Trump nationally.

A Monmouth University poll issued the same day, meanwhile, discovered that she boasts an 11-point advantage over Trump in Colorado.

Clinton leads Trump by about 3 points nationwide, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls.
