Hillary Clinton holds a one-point lead over Donald Trump in a poll of likely Virginia voters, released Friday by Emerson College.

The poll shows Clinton ahead, 44-43, with Libertarian Gary Johnson following at 11 percent and Green Party’s Jill Stein at 3 percent.

A Hampton University poll released earlier this week showed Clinton ahead by two points, 43-41, in a head-to-head match among likely Virginia voters. Emerson College has not previously polled the presidential race in Virginia.

The Emerson College poll was conducted Aug. 30-Sept. 1 via automated poll of landlines only. The survey included 800 likely Virginia voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percent.

TPM’s PollTracker Average for the Virginia general election shows a tossup, with Trump leading Clinton, 43.4 to 42.5.
