Tracking poll gave Trump a lead just a few days ago_  by [Tessa Berenson](https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/)  ## Tessa Berenson Nov 4, 2016 11:47 AM UTC  by [Tessa Berenson](https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/)  ## Tessa Berenson Nov 4, 2016 11:47 AM UTC Hillary Clinton has regained a slim lead in a tracking poll that just days ago showed [Donald Trump up by one point nationally](http://time.com/4552904/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-abc-washington-post-poll/?iid=sr-link1). In a new [Washington _Post_/ABC tracking poll](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/11/04/clinton-up-47-44-in-post-abc-tracking-poll-despite-trumps-9-point-edge-on-dealing-with-corruption/?postshare=3471478258067793&tid=ss%5Ftw), Clinton holds a three-point lead over Trump with 47% to 44% support. In the poll released Monday, Trump was leading Clinton 46% to 45%. Both spreads are within the poll’s margin of error. The new results noted many similarities with the 2012 election results. Clinton currently holds a 10-point lead among women; Barack Obama won women by 11 points. Trump has 79% support from white evangelical Protestants; Mitt Romney won 78% of them. Trump is 8 points ahead with political independents; Romney won them by 5 points. The poll notes one significant difference from 2012, however. In the last election, Romney won white college graduates by 14 points. But this year, Clinton holds an 8-point lead with the group. If this holds for the election Trump would be the first Republican to lose the group in 60 years, [FiveThirtyEight reports](http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/trump-may-become-the-first-republican-in-60-years-to-lose-white-college-graduates/). Still, with less than one week until the election, there’s at least one thing most voters seem to agree on. In the final [New York _Times_/CBS News Poll](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/04/us/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-poll.html), more than 8 in 10 voters said this campaign has made them feel more disgusted than excited. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4558183/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-national-poll-tracking/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4558183/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-national-poll-tracking/"},"headline":"Hillary Clinton Regains Narrow Lead Over Donald Trump in Tracking Poll","datePublished":"2016-11-04T11:47:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:42:48.531Z","description":"Tracking poll gave Trump a lead just a few days ago","url":"https://time.com/4558183/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-national-poll-tracking/","keywords":["2016 Election","Hillary Clinton","2016 Election","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt449c9915d0a84fc1/6988acdafb4eac09f388fb9f/clinton1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt449c9915d0a84fc1/6988acdafb4eac09f388fb9f/clinton1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton looks on during a campaign rally in Tempe, Ariz., on Nov. 2, 2016.","caption":"U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton looks on during a campaign rally in Tempe, Ariz., on Nov. 2, 2016.","creditText":"Jewel Samad—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4558183/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-national-poll-tracking/","name":"Hillary Clinton Regains Narrow Lead Over Donald Trump in Tracking Poll"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"Tracking poll gave Trump a lead just a few days ago","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4558183/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-national-poll-tracking/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4558183/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-national-poll-tracking/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
