Donald Trump remains ahead in Texas, but his leads are vulnerable in Arizona and Georgia, according to new polls from NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist College.
Trump holds a five-point lead among likely Arizona voters, 46-41, in a head-to-head match with Hillary Clinton. His lead remains at five points when third-party candidates are included, 45-40, with Libertarian Gary Johnson at 9 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 3 percent.
Clinton edges one point behind the businessman in Georgia, where he leads 47-46 in a head-to-head match. When third-party candidates are included, Trump leads, 45-44, with Johnson trailing at 8 percent.
And in Texas, Trump holds a nine-point lead, 49-40, with Johnson at 6 percent and Stein at 2 percent.
Since NBC/WSJ/Marist last polled likely Arizona voters in September, the head-to-head match moved from Trump +1 then to Trump +5 today, and the four-way survey moved from Trump +2 to Trump +4 today.
Clinton made a slight gain among likely Georgia voters since NBC/WSJ/Marist’s previous poll, moving from Trump +3 in September to Trump +1 in a head-to-head match, and from Trump +2 to Trump +1 when third-party candidates are included in the poll.
NBC/WSJ/Marist has not previously polled likely Texas voters on the general election, but an October poll from YouGov/University of Texas/Texas Tribune showed the Republican just three points ahead of the former Secretary of State.
