Donald Trump's polling momentum in the battleground state of Ohio continued with a Suffolk University poll of likely voters out Thursday, showing the Republican nominee with a three-point edge over Hillary Clinton, consistent with other recent surveys showing him in the lead.

Among the 500 likely general election voters surveyed between Monday and Wednesday, 42 percent said they would vote for Trump in a four-way ballot test. Approximately 39 percent said they would cast their ballot for Clinton in November, with 4 percent picking Gary Johnson (who will not appear as a Libertarian candidate on the state ballot), 1 percent for Green Party nominee Jill Stein and 0.8 percent for independent Richard Duncan.

The poll was conducted via landlines and cellphones over the last three days, with an overall margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points for the entire sample.

In other recent polls from the state conducted in recent days, Trump holds a similar margin over Clinton, up 5 points in the four-way ballot test in a CNN/ORC survey and 5 points in another Bloomberg Politics poll.

Trump now holds a small lead over Clinton in the POLITICO Battleground States Polling Average for Ohio, 44.2 percent to 42.8 percent.
