If the two candidates are to face off in a general election, it appears it will be a close race. In previous months, Clinton had a sizable lead over Trump in matchup polls. In recent weeks, Trump gained ground on Clinton and had a slight lead in RealClear Politics poll average.
Clinton now has an average lead of two percentage points. Neither candidate can be named the nominee until each party’s July convention.
