Poll: Clinton’s lead narrows to 2 points

Hillary Clinton has just a 2-point lead over Donald Trump going into the weekend before Election Day, according to a new Fox News poll released Friday night.

{mosads}The survey shows Clinton with 45 percent and Trump with 43 percent. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein trail with 5 percent and 2 percent, respectively.

And in a theoretical two-way race, Clinton leads by just 1 point, 46 percent to 45 percent.

The poll is the latest sign that the race has tightened in recent weeks. In late October, Clinton was averaging a 7-point lead, which has now dwindled to a 2.3-point lead, according to the RealClearPolitics polling index.

As the long, contentious campaign winds down, the two candidates’ favorability ratings are nearly identical. Clinton and Trump are both viewed favorably by 43 percent of likely voters, and unfavorably by 56 percent and 55 percent, respectively.

And the country is split over whether they believe that the FBI will find anything in newly discovered emails that will lead to criminal charges against Clinton, with 51 percent saying it’s not likely and 47 percent saying it is.

Results are based on interviews with 1,107 likely voters who were surveyed Nov. 1-3. The poll has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
