The consequences of the FBI's renewed investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server are making themselves known in the polls, with Donald Trump overtaking Clinton by 1 point in an ABC News/Washington Post survey released Tuesday.
In the poll, conducted Oct. 28-30, Trump has 46 percent to Clinton's 45 percent, marking the first time Trump has taken the lead in this particular poll since May. The results are "well within the survey's margin of sampling error" of 3 points, ABC News reports. Clinton maintains her lead in other national polls, up by 6 points in NBC/Survey Monkey. RealClearPolitics puts the average at 45 percent for Clinton, 43 for Trump.
