Hillary Clinton comes out six points ahead of Donald Trump in a post-debate poll of North Carolina voters from Elon University released Tuesday.

Clinton leads Trump among likely voters, 45-39, with Libertarian Gary Johnson following at 9 percent in the state. The poll did not include Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who is not on the ballot in the Tar Heel State.

This latest poll reverses Trump’s single-point lead in Elon University’s previous poll. When the pollster surveyed North Carolina voters in the middle of September, Trump led Clinton, 44-43, with Johnson polling at 6 percent.

The Elon University poll was conducted via live telephone interview from Sept. 27-30 among 660 likely North Carolina voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.81 percent.

TPM’s PollTracker Average for the North Carolina presidential election shows Clinton leading Trump, 46.1 to 43.4.
