Clinton holds edge in the countdown to Election Day
Hillary Clinton has an edge on Donald Trump in multiple four-way polls released in the waning hours before the majority of Americans cast their votes on Nov. 8.
In an NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll, Clinton has a 6-point lead on Trump. "Over the course of months of NBC News/SurveyMonkey polling, the numbers have remained remarkably stable," the analysts wrote. "Clinton has not only maintained a lead over the Republican nominee since the end of July, but the margin of her lead has been between 4 to 6 percentage points since the second week of September." The poll was conducted online between Oct. 31 and Nov. 6 with a sample of 70,194 likely voters and a margin of error of plus or minus 1 point.

Wall Street Journal/NBC News found Clinton with a 4-point lead. "Trump tried to do something: To take his brand of populism and reach into the middle [of the political spectrum]," GOP pollster Micah Roberts, who helped conduct the survey, told The Wall Street Journal. "It didn't work." The poll reached 1,282 likely voters between Nov. 3-5. and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.7 points.
Finally, an ABC News/Washington Post poll stood at 47 percent Clinton, 43 percent Trump with an update planned for Monday afternoon. It was conducted by cell phone and landline Nov. 2 through 5 in English and Spanish among 1,937 likely voters, with a margin of error of 2.5.
