Trump surges among independent voters

Donald Trump is gaining ground on Hillary Clinton, a new poll finds.

The NBC News/Survey Monkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll finds Clinton with a mere four-point lead on Trump, 48 percent to 44 percent. The same poll last week found Clinton with a bigger lead, winning 48 percent of the voters to Trump’s 42 percent.

Clinton had a 10-point lead over Trump in the same poll five weeks ago.
When third-party candidates are factored in, Clinton’s lead slips further, with the Democrat garnering 42 percent of the vote, Trump 40 percent, Libertarian Gary Johnson getting 11 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 4 percent.
