Rasmussen Poll: Clinton And Trump In Dead Heat

According to a poll released today by the right-leaning Rasmussen, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are tied in a hypothetical match-up. They write:

If the 2016 presidential election was held today, 37% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for Clinton, while 36% would vote for Trump. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that a sizable 22% would choose some other candidate, while five percent (5%) are undecided.

Seventy-five percent (75%) of Democrats back Clinton, up five points from October. Trump draws support from 63% of Republicans, virtually unchanged from the previous survey. Unaffiliated voters prefer Trump 36% to 25%, but 29% of these voters like some other candidate.

These findings also are similar to the October survey. Clinton and Trump are currently seen as the likely nominees by large majorities of voters in their respective parties.
