After a tumultuous few weeks in the presidential campaign, Democrat Hillary Clinton’s lead over Republican rival Donald Trump stands at five percentage points, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, but the race is essentially tied when third-party candidates are included.
The latest survey, of 1,000 registered voters, shows Mrs. Clinton gets 46% support, to 41% for Mr. Trump, in a head-to-head matchup. The presumptive Democratic nominee’s number has held steady over the past month, while Mr. Trump’s standing dropped by two points since May.
The survey was conducted June 19-23, a period in which Mr. Trumpfired his campaign manager and faced criticism from within his own party over weak fundraising numbers and lack of organization. Earlier in the month, he was the target of bipartisan ire for his focus on a federal judge’s ethnicity and his reaction to the mass shooting in Orlando, Fla.
