Rasmussen Poll White House Watch: Clinton, Trump Tied

Tuesday, November 01, 2016
One week before Election Day, the race for the presidency is all tied up.

The latest Rasmussen Reports White House Watch national telephone and online survey finds Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump each with 44% support among Likely U.S. Voters. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson has five percent (5%) of the vote, while Green Party nominee Jill Stein earns two percent (2%). Another two percent (2%) like some other candidate in the race, and four percent (4%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Yesterday, it was Clinton 45%, Trump 42%, but the two were with 45% apiece on Friday. Two out of the three nights in the latest survey follow FBI Director James Comey’s announcement on Friday that his agency is reopening the investigation of Clinton’s handling of classified information after the discovery of tens of thousands of previously unseen private e-mails.

Eighty-eight percent (88%) of voters say they are sure which candidate they are going to vote for, and among these voters, it’s also a tie with Clinton and Trump both having 48% support, Johnson with three percent (3%) and Stein at one percent (1%).

Among those who still could change their minds, it’s Clinton 36%, Trump 36%, Johnson 18%, Stein 11%. Clinton has led among these voters in the majority of surveys, so the latest numbers suggest she is losing these undecided voters to Trump and the other candidates.

Rasmussen Reports updates its White House Watch survey daily Monday through Friday at 8:30 am Eastern based on a three-day rolling average of 1,500 Likely U.S. Voters.

The survey of 1,500 Likely Voters was conducted on October 27 and 30-31, 2016 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
