On Thursday, the RealClearPolitics average of national polls gave the Democratic Party candidate a lead of 1.8 percentage points, 45.8 to Mr. Trump’s 44 points. A New York Times/CBS poll has Ms. Clinton leading by two percentage points among likely voters. In battle ground States — States that flip between the parties — the contest appears getting closer, eroding the overwhelming lead that Ms. Clinton had even weeks ago. Mr. Trump, who had taken a break from his constant sniping at her alleged lack of stamina, also returned to his original self. Stating that she was “lying in bed,” Mr. Trump congratulated himself for his stamina, noting that he was standing through a hot event.
