Clinton’s lead over Trump drops to less than 3 points

After a week of a widening gap of 8-10 in favor of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Friday narrowed her lead over rival Republican Donald Trump to less than 3 percentage points. About 42 percent of likely voters favored Clinton to Trump's 39 percent, according to the July 31-Aug. 4 online poll of 1,154 likely voters.
