Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump’s support among likely national voters has surged so much so that he’s nearly closed a 13-point gap with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Wednesday.
The poll showed that 40 percent of likely voters supported Trump and 41 percent supported Clinton. Of those surveyed, 19 percent said they were unsure as to who they’d support.
Clinton led Trump by nine points in last week’s iteration of the Reuters/Ipsos poll.
The online poll surveyed 1,289 people from May 6-10. The poll had a margin of error of about 3 percentage points.
Correction: The original version of this post included incorrect numbers from the previous week’s Ipsos/Reuters poll, based on information from Reuters. After consulting TPM’s Polltracker average and Ipsos’ press release for the May 5 survey, the post was revised to show Trump trailed Clinton by 9 points in that survey.
