A Monmouth poll out Wednesday has Hillary Clinton edging Donald Trump in Ohio — the first poll since early September that shows her in the lead in the Buckeye State, though the 2-point lead is within the margin of error.

Clinton had the support of 44% of likely Ohio voters, while Trump had 42%. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson had 5% and Green Party candidate Jill Stein had 1%.

While the margin between Trump and Clinton is smaller than the last time Monmouth released a poll — she led by 4 points in mid-August — other polls released in September had Trump ahead.

The survey also found that Ohio Sen. Rob Portman is enjoying a growing lead in the state, 54%-39%, over former Democratic governor Ted Strickland. In August, he was 8 points ahead.

The poll was conducted Oct. 1-4 and included 405 likely Ohio voters. The margin of error was 4.9 points.
