Clinton, the Democratic nominee, and Trump, the Republican nominee, have sought to shore up support this week in a slew of battleground states that will ultimately determine who wins the 270 electoral votes needed to lock up the White House.
The candidates and their surrogates have been criss-crossing the country with additional stops in Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire, among other states.
The survey of 940 likely voters was conducted Nov. 1–3 in English and Spanish via landlines and cellphones and has a margin of error of 3.2 points.
