Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump holds a narrow, one-point lead over Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton in a Suffolk University poll of likely Iowa voters out Thursday.

The poll puts Trump ahead by one point, 41-40, within the poll’s margin of error of 4.4 percentage points.

When including third-party candidates, the Suffolk poll found Trump still leads by one point, 37-36, with Libertarian Gary Johnson polling at 6 percent and the Green Party’s Jill Stein at 3 percent.

The most recent Iowa poll from NBC/WSJ/Marist released earlier this week showed Clinton ahead by four points in the swing state.

Suffolk University has not recently polled Iowa voters for comparison.

The poll, conducted over the phone Aug. 8-10, included 500 likely Iowa voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percent.
