Clinton and Trump in close tie if US elections held today
If the 2016 presidential election was held today, 37% of likely US voters would choose Clinton, while 36% would vote for Trump. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that a sizable 22% would choose some other candidate, while five percent (5%) are undecided.
These findings are nearly identical to those measured in October when Trump picked up 38% support to Clinton’s 36%. Seventy-five percent (75%) of Democrats back Clinton, up five points from October. Trump draws support from 63% of Republicans, virtually unchanged from the previous survey.
