For the first time since July a poll has been published which shows Donald Trump leading Hillary Clinton, albeit by only 1 point.
According to the survey, which was conducted between August 26 and September 1 by Reuters ,Trump is at 40% compared to Clinton on 39%, whereas 20% didn`t wish to vote for either of the candidates. When asked to decide between 4 candidates, including Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson and Green Jill Stein, Trump and Clinton were tied on 39%.
To put this in comparison, one poll during August had Clinton 12% ahead, so Trump appears to be heading in the right direction and closing the gap.
Trump was leading for a brief period at the end of July after apparently benefiting from a "bounce" following the RNC in Cleveland, Ohio. However with the beginning of the DNC, Clinton swiftly retook the lead once more.
In the case of republican voters, 78% opted for Trump in the poll.
