Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton among Florida voters by a single point, 45-44, in a new poll from Suffolk University.

The poll included third party candidates, with Libertarian Gary Johnson following at 3 percent, Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 1 percent, and Constitution Party candidate Darrell Castle and Reform Party candidate Rocky De La Fuente both polling at 0 percent.

Clinton held the lead in Florida in August, 43-39, with Johnson at 4 percent and Stein at 3 percent, according to the Suffolk poll conducted last month.

The new Suffolk University poll was conducted Sept. 18-21 among 500 likely Florida voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percent.

TPM’s PollTracker Average in Florida shows a tossup, with Trump leading Clinton, 45.9 to 45.4.
