Donald Trump is quickly gaining ground on Hillary Clinton, a national tracking poll released on Saturday shows.
Trump, who was behind the Democratic presidential nominee by 12 points in the ABC News/Washington Post survey just last week, has climbed to within two percentage points, now trailing 47-45 per cent in
the same poll.
The poll of 1148 likely voters was conducted before the Federal Bureau of Investigation's revelation to Congress on Friday that it had discovered additional emails related to its probe of Clinton's private email server.
US Attorney General Loretta Lynch advised and objected against FBI Director James Comey's move to send a letter to Congress to inform them about the reopening of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.
Comey broke from Lynch, who objected to the move along with the Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, and independently sent the letter to Congress, dropping the bombshell about the restarted investigation based on newly discovered emails, rocking Clinton's campaign.
