Donald Trump has seen his support increase as he continues to claim US election is rigged
The Republican candidate had been trailing by a massive 10 points until today, when he narrowed the gap to just four points.
Trump continued to brand the election a fix at a highly-charged Pennsylvania rally on Friday, saying: “Remember folks, it's a rigged system.”
He added: "That's why you've got to get out and vote, you've got to watch. Because this system is totally rigged."
Polling data from reuters and Ipsos had Clinton leading Trump by 4 per cent to 37 per cent until October 20, when she was barely leading by a margin of 44 per cent to 40 per cent.
An average of national opinion polls by RealClearPolitics shows Clinton 6.2 percentage points ahead at 48.1 percent support to Trump's 41.9 percent.
At yesterday’s Jonestown rally, the baying crowd chanted “lock her up!” in reference to Hillary Clinton’s email scandal.
Trump relied with: “Don’t worry, that whole thing will be looked into.”
