Donald Trump has a 1-point lead — a statistical tie — over Hillary Clinton in Florida, according to the latest Suffolk University poll released Thursday.
The results:
- Trump: 45 percent.
- Clinton: 44 percent.
- Gary Johnson: 3 percent.
- Jill Stein: 1 percent.
- Undecided: 7 percent.
Clinton led Trump by 4 points in Suffolk's August survey.
However, 47 percent believe Clinton will most likely be elected, compared to 38 percent for Trump. That was a 20-point edge for Clinton last month.
"Hillary Clinton … has lost her August lead because Donald Trump is aggregating previous undecided and Johnson supporters in his camp," said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center. "One of the more striking findings is that Florida voters don't perceive Hillary Clinton as easy a winner as they did in August."
The Florida survey of 500 likely voters was conducted Sept. 19-21. The margin of error is +/-4.4 percentage points at a 95 percent level of confidence.
