Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by four percent nationally, down from her nine-point lead in June, according to a new Pew Research poll.

The poll of registered voters shows Clinton ahead, 41-37, with Libertarian Gary Johnson polling at 10 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 4 percent.

Clinton’s current lead is smaller than her lead in Pew’s June poll, where she outscored Trump by nine percent, 45-36, with Johnson polling at 11 percent.

The latest Pew poll shows Clinton receiving strong support from women and non-white voters, leading by 19 percent among women (49-30), 24 percent among Hispanic voters (50-26) and 83 percent among black voters (85-2). Both Johnson and Stein polled higher than Trump among black voters, both polling at 4 percent.

Trump’s support remains in white and male voters, where he leads Clinton 45-33 in both subgroups.

Pew surveyed 1,576 registered voters nationally from Aug. 9-16, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percent.

TPM’s PollTracker Average for the national election shows Clinton ahead of Trump, 42.8 to 37.9.
