Donald Trump is holding onto a slim lead against Hillary Clinton in North Carolina, according to a new poll released Wednesday.
Trump leads Clinton in a new Public Policy Polling survey, 45-43 among likely voters. Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson has 6 percent.
In a head-to-head race, it is completely tied at 47 percent each.
The last PPP survey found Clinton leading by a very slim margin for the first time since March. In an early August survey, she led Trump, 43-41.
Of the voters who remain undecided, there is a stark contrast between those who would prefer four more years of President Obama or the “sharp pivot to Trump’s vision for the country.” When asked, 62 percent would prefer to more Obama, to only 5 percent who would opt for Trump.
Overall, 51 percent of North Carolina voters would rather have four more years of Obama compared to the 46 percent who prefer the GOP nominee.
The survey also found that both Trump and Clinton struggle with voters’ negative perception of them. Among undecided voters, only 10 percent have a favorable view of Clinton, and 0 percent view Trump favorably.
The survey of 1,024 likely voters was conducted Sept. 18-20, and carries a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
