Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's lead against her Republican rival Donald Trump has come down to two per cent even as she leads in two key states, according to two polls.
"Trump (Donald) trails Clinton by only two percentage points, 42 per cent to 40 per cent, in a poll taken September 1 through September 2," Morning Consult said in its latest poll.
That's little changed from a week earlier, when the Republican candidate was behind the democratic rival by three points, it said.
Almost one-fifth of registered voters (18 per cent) still don't know or have no opinion, despite election day being roughly two months away, Morning Consult said.
In RealClearPolitics average of polls Clinton is leading Trump by 3.9 percentage points. The website keeps track of almost all the major national polls.
Meanwhile, a latest poll released by CBS News, Clinton continues to maintain considerable lead of eight percentage points in Pennsylvania, while in North Carolina she leads by four points.
"This week, Clinton leads in two new polls of states that Trump needs to win, given his current electoral map: Clinton leads in Pennsylvania fairly comfortably by eight points, 45 percent to 37 per cent, and she is up four in North Carolina, 46 - 42 per cent," CBS News said.
About as many Republican voters say Trump's candidacy has
been bad for the party as they believe that his campaign has been positive for Republicans, an extraordinary divide over their own standard-bearer on the eve of the election, the poll said.
Despite how many feel about Trump, more than eight in 10 Republican voters are falling in line behind their nominee.
The poll also showed a wide class divide, with Clinton getting the support of 48 per cent of whites with college degrees - a constituency that historically votes for a Republican presidential nominee - while Trump is backed by 41 per cent from the same voters.
But Trump receives 55 per cent from whites without college degrees, while Clinton captures just 30 per cent from that group.
