Clinton captured 45 percent of likely voters compared to 42 percent for Republican candidate Donald Trump. Libertarian Gary Johnson was polled with 5 percent of likely voters and Green Jill Stein with just 4 percent, according to the New York Times/CBS News poll.

In the four-way race, Trump has gained four points from Oct. 19. In the two-candidate preferred poll, Clinton was ahead by three points, down from an 11 point buffer earlier in October.

For both Clinton and Trump voters, 95 percent of people asked said they had made their minds up for their vote, 92 percent of all voters asked in the poll said they were set on their decision, and around one in five said they had already voted. More than 22 million people around the U.S. have cast an early ballot.

Amid the announcement that the FBI would be investigating Clinton leaked emails, 62 percent of likely voters yet to vote said the FBI review would make no difference to their vote, while 57 percent of Republican supporters said that they were less likely to vote for Clinton after the FBI review.

Around the states, the race is also tight. The latest CNN/ ORC poll had Clinton ahead in Pennsylvania and a slim lead in Florida, while Trump was polled as leading in Arizona and Nevada.

On Tuesday, Trump was seen to edge out Clinton by one point according to the ABC News and Washington Post’s latest poll. He was also viewed as having an eight point buffer against Clinton among very enthusiastic voters.

An earlier New York Times/CBS News poll from October, had Clinton nine points ahead of Trump, following the release of audio where Trump talked about making unrequited sexual advances to women.
