New NBC News poll has Republicans behind

Results of a new national poll conducted by NBC News were published on April 18. Participants were asked, who they would give their vote to, if the election were today. The results show that 50.0% of participants would vote for the Democrats, whereas 39.0% said they would vote for GOP. The poll was carried out from April 10 to April 14 with 1000 respondents. Figures have a +/-3.1 percentage points error margin.

Translating these results into two-party vote shares yields values of 56.2% for the democrat Clinton and 43.8% for the republican Trump. The democrats did worse by 1.0 percentage points in comparison to the average results of the other polls. The poll numbers for the Democrats are thus 2.7 percentage points higher than the combined PollyVote, which at the moment anticipates a value of 53.5%.
