Stocks fell again in a risk off market as Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was behind Donald Trump for the first time since May in the latest ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates.
In the latest results, 46 percent of likely voters support Trump, and 45 percent are for Clinton. With the data taken to a decimal place for illustrative purposes, a mere 0.7 of a percentage point divides them.
