Hillary Clinton leads among Nevada voters by six points following the first presidential debate, according to a new Suffolk University poll.

This latest poll shifts Nevada into leaning toward Clinton on TPM’s Electoral Scoreboard, reversing a trend of recent leads for Donald Trump in the state.

The Suffolk poll shows Clinton ahead, 44-38, with Libertarian Gary Johnson behind at 7 percent, and Independent American candidate Darrell Castle and non-party candidate Roque De La Fuente both polling at 1 percent.

In a previous Suffolk poll from mid-August, Clinton led the state by just two points, 44-42, with Johnson at 5 percent and Castle and De La Fuente tied again at 1 percent.

The Suffolk University poll was conducted Sept. 27-29 via live telephone interview among 500 likely Nevada voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percent.

TPM’s PollTracker Average for the general election in Nevada shows Clinton leading Trump, 43.6 to 39.8.
