Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton slightly edges Republican rival Donald Trump with four points, according to the latest survey by Pew.

Pew Research Center released its most recent poll Thursday that revealed Clinton outpacing Trump with 41–37 among registered voters. At least 10 percent of them said that they would vote for Libertarian Party's presidential candidate Gary Johnson while four percent said they'd vote for Jill Stein of the Green Party.

In a two-way race, the poll reveals a strikingly close competition with 43 in favor of Clinton and 42 in favor of Trump.

Clinton also edges Trump among women voters with 49–30 while men favor Trump over Clinton with 45–33.

Voters with postgraduate degrees back solidly behind Clinton with 59–21 and college graduates with 47–34. The reverse seems true for those with some of less college experience who favors Trump 41–36.

The numbers seem to back the assertion of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who said that many non-educated white males support Trump because of guns, gays, and God, the three Gs.

White evangelicals continue to support Trump with 63–17 while religious nones back Clinton with 56–19.

A post-convention poll conducted by Washington Post–ABC News revealed that Trump trailed behind Clinton, who benefitted not only from her party's National Convention but also from Trump's damaging remarks on Army Capt. Humayun Khan, the American soldier killed on duty in Iraq, and Trump's tirade with Khan's Muslim American parents.

Trump followed up by overhauling his political campaign once more which included uncharacteristic words of regrets over painful remarks.

"Sometimes in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don't choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that," Trump told a crowd in Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday evening. "And believe it or not, I regret it — and I do regret it — particularly where it may have caused personal pain."

Clinton herself faces a turbulent ride as a new batch of emails reveal possible links between the State Department during her tenure as former Secretary of State and the controversial Clinton Foundation.

"Neither of these emails involve the secretary or relate to the Foundation's work," said Josh Schwerin, Clinton's campaign spokesman, in an email statement to CNN. "They are communications between her aides and the President's personal aide, and indeed the recommendation was for one of the Secretary's former staffers who was not employed by the Foundation."
