Clinton’s lead over Trump thinning: US poll
US Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton’s lead over the presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump is wearing thin, a new national poll has found.
The poll, released Friday by One America News Network and Gravis Marketing, showed that the former first lady was still ahead with 48 percent support, compared to the New York businessman’s 46 percent.
This is while according to a Tuesday poll by Public Policy Polling, Clinton had a lead of 4 points over Trump, 42 to 38 percent.
Trump has briefly matched Clinton’s support a few times this year, most recently in mid-March, after US Senator Marco Rubio of Florida dropped out.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday put the margin at 1 percent, with 41 percent of respondents supporting Clinton and 40 percent backing Trump.
Despite differences of opinion about Trump in the Republican Party, GOPers are calling for unity to defeat Clinton.
That objective was reiterated in a joint statement with the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Paul Ryan shortly after their highly-anticipated meeting in Washington, DC, on Thursday, where the duo called on Republicans to "unite around our shared principles, advance a conservative agenda and do all we can to win” the presidential election in November.
“The US cannot afford another four years of the [President Barack] Obama White House, which is what Hillary Clinton represents,” they added.
After Trump's commanding victory in Indiana's primary last week, his remaining challengers, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Ohio Governor John Kasich, both suspended their presidential bids, leaving the billionaire businessman on an uncontested path to the nomination.
On the Democratic side, however, Clinton has been faced with strong competition from Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in the primary contests.
Although trailing the former secretary of state in delegate count, Sanders has vowed to continue fighting Clinton.
Clinton has so far won 1,716 of the 2,382 delegates needed for nomination, compared to Sanders’ 1,433. There are still more than 1,000 delegates available.
