Hillary Clinton's national lead against Donald Trump has narrowed to 5 percentage points, according to a poll released Monday.

According to a USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll, Clinton leads 45.6 percent to Trump's 40.4 percent, continuing a string of recent polls showing the presumptive Democratic nominee ahead of the Manhattan mogul by single-digits nationally.


The last USA Today poll from nearly two months ago showed Clinton with an 11-point lead.

When Libertarian Gary Johnson (8 percent) and Green Party contender Jill Stein (3) were added in to the new poll, Clinton's lead dropped to 39-35. This has also been consistent with recent polling.

The latest findings also show a deeply distressed and divided electorate, with 61 percent of voters feeling alarmed about the election and only 23 percent feeling excited about the contest. Nine in 10 supporters on both sides though say they are steadfast in their decisions to vote for their candidates.

In terms of favorability, Trump's 60 percent unfavorable rating surpasses Clinton's at 53 percent.

Clinton also holds a strong advantage among minority voters, beating Trump by nearly 2-to-1 among Latinos and 10-to-1 among African Americans.

The USA Today/Suffolk University poll surveyed 1,000 likely voters June 26-29. The margin of error was 3 percentage points.
