Texas becomes tossup, RealClearPolitics declares

The political tracking site RealClearPolitics, which collects and averages polls in every state, declared Sunday that Texas is now a tossup in the presidential election. 

{mosads}The site previously classified the traditionally red state as leaning toward GOP nominee Donald Trump, but it made the switch after the release of a CBS tracking poll Sunday showing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton down just 3 points in the Lone Star State.

The RCP average of polls showed Trump ahead of Clinton by 4.8 points on Sunday.
