Donald Trump lost some ground in the past week to Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, according to the latest results of a daily ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll released Sunday.
Momentum has put Clinton ahead 5 percentage points just days out from Election Day, (48 percent to 43 percent in a four-person race), as she recovered from last weekend’s polling collapse when a 12-point advantage shrank to just 1 percent after news broke of a renewed FBI investigation into her emails.
One-third of likely voters who said they voted early picked Clinton more often than Trump (51 percent to 43 percent).
The gender gap narrowed as men now prefer Trump 45 percent to 42 percent, while Clinton leads by 12 points among women. Clinton also eliminated Trump’s 19-point lead among independents last weekend to break even with the GOP nominee.
The national poll of 1,685 likely voters was conducted via landline and cellphone between Nov. 1 and Nov. 4 in English and Spanish. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points and partisan divisions of 37 percent Democrat, 31 percent Republican and 28 percent independent.
