Donald Trump has overtaken Hillary Clinton for the first time since mid-July, according to a weekly Rasmussen poll published on Thursday.
Trump is polling at 40 per cent, a point ahead of Clinton at 39.
It’s a striking reversal of fortunes for the two candidates compared to last week, when Clinton led Trump 42 to 38.
The result comes as Labor Day approaches. Following the holiday presidential campaigns ratchet up several notches, so polls then are seen as giving whoever is ahead at that point a crucial psychological advantage.
