Clinton, the Democratic former secretary of state, led Trump 44% to 40%, according to the October 14-20 poll, a 4-point lead, with the November 8 election fast approaching. That compared with 44% for Clinton and 37% for Trump in the October 7-13 poll released last week. Clinton's lead also shrank in a separate four-way poll that included alternative party candidates: 43% supported her, while 39% supported Trump, 6% supported Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, and 2% supported Jill Stein of the Green Party. The poll questions on Trump's unwanted sexual advances scandal were asked of 1915 American adults, including 546 likely Republican voters. It had a credibility interval of 3 percentage points for all adults and 5 points for Republican voters.
