Washington, September 22 (RHC)-- U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has opened up a narrow lead over his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, a new poll shows, signaling the end of the former secretary of state's months-long dominance in terms national support. 

The survey, released by Red Oak Strategic, revealed that the New York businessman had managed to close the gap with Clinton and lead her by 2 points, 35 percent to 33 percent.  Around 24 percent of the participants said they either had another candidate in mind or were yet to select one. 

In the poll's previous version from early September, Trump was behind the former first lady 31 percent to 34 percent.  Now, the poll says Hillary Clinton doesn't stand a chance in a head-to-head match-up either, as Donald Trump was leading her 51 percent to 48 percent. 

Interestingly, about 41 percent of the participants said they had voted for President Barack Obama in the 2012 election, while only 34 percent opted for the Republican ticket Mitt Romney. 

This was the first time that Trump was leading Clinton in a Red Oak Strategic survey, since the company began tracking the race in August.  Over the past few days, nearly all polls have indicated a tightening race between Clinton and Trump at national and state levels.  This is while we are nearly 50 days from the U.S. presidential elections, scheduled for November 8th.
