Donald Trump has caught up with Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, a state where she has never been behind, according to RealClearPolitics polling averages.

Two polls released Thursday showed Trump and Clinton locked in a dead-heat and a third shows him up by 5 points.

An American Research Group poll found that Trump leads Clinton, 48%-43% among likely voters in the Granite State.

A WBUR-FM/Mass Inc. poll has Trump leading Clinton 40%-39%, and a Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll has him ahead 42.2%-41.8%. Both are well within the 4.4-point margin of error, meaning Trump and Clinton are virtually tied.

Last month Clinton was ahead by 3 points in a WBUR poll and 2 points in a Boston Globe/Suffolk survey. Others had her up as many as 15 points last month.

The New Hampshire polls follow a nationwide trend of Trump-mentum, a tightening of the race less than a week before Election Day.

Among WBUR’s new findings: Trump led by 2 points with college-educated voters, a group with whom Clinton has tended to do better. But Clinton is up 13 points with young women and 15 points with women over 45.

Is the Clinton campaign nervous? "No," said Julie McClain, the communications director for Clinton's efforts in the state.

McClain says the campaign has had a full staff in New Hampshire since May and is coordinating with the state Democratic Party to outdo Trump's voter turnout operation.

"Polls always tighten in New Hampshire around election day," she said, adding that the Clinton campaign's effort is "mammoth." "I think we’re all feeling like this is what we knew would happen."
