"Trump earns 42 percent support to Clinton’s 37 percent when likely US voters are asked whom they would vote for if the presidential election were held today," Rasmussen said in a press release accompanying the telephone survey results.
At the beginning of May, Rasmussen reported that Trump led Clinton by 41 percent to 39 percent, within that poll’s margin of error and therefor considered statistically insignificant.
