Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are in a virtual dead heat in their bitter race for the White House on the eve of their first head-to-head presidential debate, a new poll shows.
The two are each set to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Sunday. Netanyahu is slated to sit down with Trump at about 5 p.m. Israel time and with Clinton later on in the day, before returning to Israel.

The Washington Post-ABC News poll find that Clinton’s slim margin from last month has now vanished. Instead, the Democrat and her Republican rival tied at 41 percent support among registered voters, with Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson at 7% and Green Party nominee Jill Stein at 2%.
In a two-way match-up, Clinton and Trump each got 46% among registered voters.
While some other national surveys show Clinton with a lead, poll averages show a low, single-digit margin.
