Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by 5 percentage points in Colorado as both candidates approach the final weekend before Election Day, a new poll shows.
According to a survey released Friday by Project New America, 43 percent of likely voters in the Centennial State plan to support Clinton on Nov. 8 while 39 percent back Trump. Another 7 percent of voters support Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein draws 2 percent support.
In the suburban counties of Arapahoe and Jefferson, located just outside of Denver, Clinton carries a 13-point lead over Trump, 46-33 percent. The Democratic presidential hopeful also maintains a double-digit edge among women (49-36), Hispanics (57-19) and voters not affiliated with either major political party (39-27).
A separate poll released Friday by Public Policy Polling also showed Clinton with a 5-point lead over her Republican opponent. The final Project New America poll released before the 2012 election between Mitt Romney and President Obama correctly predicted a re-election victory for Obama in battleground Colorado.
Trump plans to visit Denver on Saturday as part of his nine-stop, seven-state tour before the Nov. 8 election, while Clinton deployed her husband and daughter to rally voters in the state this week.
The poll of 605 likely voters in Colorado was conducted from Nov. 2-3, following the recent developments related to Clinton’s private email server and the FBI’s reopened investigation into it. Results contain a margin of error plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
