Hillary Clinton's big lead over Donald Trump took a tumble in this week's NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll. The latest national poll out Tuesday reveals that Clinton now leads Donald Trump 48 percent to 42 percent — a winning margin 2 points slimmer than the week before.
While Clinton has fallen 2 points, from 50 percent to 48 percent, Trump has stayed steady with his 42 percent support. Trump's support did, however, inch up among Independents who don't lean towards either party. Just two weeks ago, Trump dragged 8 points behind Clinton with this group, 40 percent to 32 percent. Now, he's behind by just 4 points.
