In the final days before the election, Hillary Clinton holds a single-point lead over Donald Trump in a Fox News poll of likely voters nationwide.

Clinton polls just one point ahead of Trump in a head-to-head poll of nationwide voters, 46-45.

When third-party candidates are included, Clinton’s lead expands slightly to two points, 45-43, with Libertarian Gary Johnson polling at 5 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 2 percent.

The previous Fox News poll, released last week, showed Clinton ahead by five points, 49-44, in a head-to-head match, and by three points, 44-41, when third-party candidates are included in the poll.

The Fox News poll surveyed 1,107 likely voters nationwide from Nov. 1-3 via live telephone interview, with a margin of error of plus or minus three percent.

TPM’s PollTracker Average for the general election shows a tossup, with Clinton leading Trump, 45.2 to 43.3.

    Way too close for comfort. What the hell is wrong with America, that so many would vote for a clownish proto-fascist?

    “Fox News Poll: Clinton Leads by Just One Point”

    In other words, Clinton still leads by 5-6.

  4. Something I don’t understand. When organizations poll this close to the election, do they exclude the folks who have already voted?

  5. When organizations poll this close to the election, do they exclude the folks who have already voted?

    However they’re rating respondents’ likelihood of voting, they’ll give early voters the highest possible score. Some polls will also break out early voters as a subset of all those interviewed.
