Reuters/Ipsos poll: Clinton holds a 5 percentage point lead over Trump

According to the latest Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Monday, votes in favor of Hillary Clinton outpaced that for her rival Donald Trump by a five percentage point, i.e., down only slightly since the FBI said last week it was reviewing new emails in its investigation of the former secretary of state.

Key findings of the survey:

“Some 44 percent of likely voters said they would support Clinton, while 39 percent said they would support Trump, according to the Oct. 26-30 survey.”

“Clinton had held a 6 point advantage over Trump in the five-day tracking poll last Thursday.”

“Clinton leads Trump in both high and low turnout scenarios”

“Her advantage holds at 5 points if 55 percent of eligible voters participate, and it rises to 6 points if 70 percent of Americans cast a ballot.”
