A new poll has Donald Trump in a statistical dead heat with Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire. A WMUR poll has Clinton with only a two-point lead over Trump, which falls comfortably in the margin of error. Clinton leads Trump with 39 to 37, with a margin of error of 4.5
When third-party candidates Jill Stein (Green Party) and Gary Johnson (Libertarian Party) are included in the poll, Clinton and Trump are tied at 37 percent.
The latest WMUR Granite State Poll, released on Thursday evening, has Clinton leading Trump, 39 percent to 37 percent, well within the poll’s 4.5 percent margin of error, while a large bloc of likely voters -- 18 percent – say they would support another candidate and 6 percent are undecided.
When other prominent candidates – Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party and Jill Stein of the Green Party – are included, the race is even closer.
Under that scenario, Trump and Clinton are tied at 37 percent each, with 10 percent supporting Johnson, 5 percent for Stein, 5 percent for someone else and 6 percent undecided.
New Hampshire, which is generally considered to be a swing state, last went Republican in the 2000 election.
