WASHINGTON — After Hillary Clinton was leading by a significant margin over the past few weeks, a new poll showed the former secretary of state is two points behind her Republican opponent Donald Trump.

The contest sparking sharp divisions along demographic lines, according to the new CNN/ORC Poll.

Trump tops Clinton 45 percent to 43 percent in the new survey, with Libertarian Gary Johnson standing at 7 percent among likely voters in the poll and the Green Party’s Jill Stein at just 2 percent.

The campaign for the presidency has seen both Clinton and Trump holding a significant lead at some point in the last two months, though Clinton has topped Trump more often than not. Most recently, Clinton’s convention propelled her to an 8-point lead among registered voters in an early-August CNN/ORC Poll. 

Clinton’s lead has largely evaporated despite a challenging month for Trump, which saw an overhaul of his campaign staff, announcements of support for Clinton from several high-profile Republicans and criticism of his campaign strategy.

Neither major third party candidate appears to be making the gains necessary to reach the 15 percent threshold set by the Commission on Presidential Debates, with just three weeks to go before the first debate on September 26.
