A new ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll released Tuesday shows Donald Trump ahead of Hillary Clinton by one point.

Trump has the support of 46 percent of voters who were polled, while Clinton has 45 percent. Libertarian Gary Johnson has three percent support and Green Party candidate Jill Stein has only two percent. Trump's one point lead is within the margin of error.

The new poll marks a 13-point swing from the same poll just over a week ago, when Clinton led Trump 50 percent to 38 percent.

Trump appears to be benefitting from higher enthusiasm among his supporters. When it comes to having strong enthusiasm among their respective voters, Trump leads Clinton by eight points, 53 to 45 percent. ABC reported Clinton has lost seven points in this category since polling for it began.

This is the first ABC News/Washington Post poll that Trump has led since May.
