Hillary Clinton comes out nine points ahead of Donald Trump, 47-38, among likely New Hampshire voters after the first presidential debate, according to a new WBUR/MassINC poll.

With third party candidates included, Clinton leads by seven points, 42-35, with Libertarian Gary Johnson following at 13 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 4 percent.

The poll shows a decrease in Clinton’s New Hampshire lead since WBUR/MassINC last polled the state in early August, when Clinton led by 17 points, 51-34, in a head-to-head matchup.

Another poll of likely New Hampshire voters conducted six days before the debate, by Monmouth University, showed Clinton with a nine-point lead, 47-38, with Johnson at 10 percent and Stein at 1 percent.

The WBUR poll was conducted by MassINC via live telephone interview from Sept. 27-29 among 502 likely New Hampshire voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percent.

TPM’s PollTracker Average for New Hampshire shows Clinton leading Trump, 46.9 to 39.2.
