Donald Trump’s lead over Hillary Clinton in Texas is now within the margin of error, according to a new poll released Thursday night by SurveyUSA commissioned by WFAA-TV in Dallas and Texas TEGNA television stations.
Trump is leading Clinton 47 percent to 43 percent among likely voters in the poll, conducted Monday through Wednesday, with Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson garnering 3 percent, Green Party candidate Jill Stein receiving 1 percent, and 5 percent undecided.
That represents a tightening of the race since a Texas Lyceum poll conducted Sept. 1-12, which had Trump leading Clinton by 7 points — 39 percent to 32 percent — among likely voters in a four-way race and by 5 points — 39 percent to 34 percent — among registered voters in a two-way race.
The margin of error in the SurveyUSA poll is 4 points.
