Washington, Oct 27: A new round of opinion polls in the US appear to send mixed signals about the trend in the race to the White House, with one showing less than a one-point gap between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, while another puts the Democrat a massive 14 points ahead of her Republican rival. The IBD/TIPP poll, which is said to have made the most accurate prediction in the 2012 elections, said that Trump (41.2 per cent) is trailing by just 0.6 points against Clinton (41.8 per cent).
On the other hand, a new AP-Gfk poll gives Clinton a commanding lead of 14 percentage points. Clinton has the support of 51 per cent of likely voters, while Trump is favoured by 37 per cent. The poll, conducted between 1,546 adults including 1,212 likely voters, gives the greatest lead for Clinton among all major national polls. Fox News in its latest poll said the race to the White House has narrowed with less than two weeks for the November 8 general elections. Clinton (44 per cent) has a three-point lead over Trump (41 per cent). Last week she was up by six points (45-39 per cent) and before that by seven (45-38 per cent).
