Democrat Hillary Clinton's lead over Republican rival Donald Trump has slipped by about five percentage points since mid-June, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, bringing the race for the White House to within nine points.
The poll released on Tuesday suggested 44.5 per cent of likely voters supported former secretary of state Clinton while 35.5 per cent backed businessman Trump. That compares with 46.6 per cent support for Clinton and 32.3 per cent for Trump on June 12, a date that marked her widest lead for the month.
The June 17-21 poll of 1100 likely voters has a credibility interval, a measure of accuracy, of 3.4 percentage points.
