Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are running neck-and-neck before the elections, a poll has showed.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton remain in a virtual dead heat, with Clinton leading Trump by a 43-to 42-percent margin, according to a daily tracking poll by Rasmussen Reports on Tuesday.

"Hillary Clinton has slipped one point ahead in the latest White House Watch survey," a press release accompanying the poll said. "The race has remained competitive in our recent surveys, with the lead shifting back and forth between the top two candidates."
