Donald Trump still has a slight edge in Rasmussen Reports’ latest White House Watch.
The new national telephone and online survey of Likely U.S. Voters shows Trump with 43% support to Clinton’s 41%. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson gets five percent (5%) of the vote, while Green Party nominee picks up three percent (3%). Another three percent (3%) like some other candidate, while five percent (5%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Today’s survey is unchanged from Friday but includes the second full night of surveying following the final presidential debate last week in Las Vegas. Rasmussen Reports is one of three national polls that still shows the race as competitive with two weeks to go; most others portray Clinton with a wide – and, in some cases, growing - lead.
In the latest survey, 88% of voters say they are now certain how they will vote, and among these voters, Trump holds a statistically insignificant 48% to 47% lead. Johnson has three percent (3%) support, Stein two percent (2%). Among the voters who still could change their minds between now and Election Day, Trump has the most to potentially lose: He’s ahead of Clinton 34% to 26% among these voters, with Johnson at 25% and Stein at 15%.
Rasmussen Reports updates its White House Watch survey daily Monday through Friday at 8:30 am Eastern based on a three-day rolling average of 1,500 Likely U.S. Voters.

The survey of 1,500 Likely Voters was conducted on October 19-20 and 23, 2016 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
