In that poll, she led by one point, 48-47, in a head-to-head match, and she was tied with the businessman at 45 percent in a three-way match, with Johnson at 9 percent.

The CNN/ORC poll was conducted Oct. 10-15 among 788 likely North Carolina voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
