Clinton Inches Ahead In Tracking Poll

November 4, 2016 at 7:06 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

The ABC News-Washington Post tracking poll shows Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by  three points, 47% to 44%.

Key findings: “There’s room for change, not least because Trump continues to enjoy a 6-point advantage in strong enthusiasm among his supporters. Just 47 percent of Clinton’s supporters are strongly enthusiastic about her, compared with 53 percent of Trump’s – and, for comparison, a peak of 69 percent of Barack Obama’s by the end of the 2012 race.”
