TOP TRUMPS! Donald Trump storms AHEAD in latest poll as Hillary Clinton is rocked by the FBI’s bombshell email probe

DONALD Trump has soared ahead of Hillary Clinton in the race to the White House with less than a week to go until Americans cast their vote.

Clinton’s popularity has plummeted in the wake of the FBI announcing an investigation into secret emails found on the laptop of her aide’s disgraced husband.

Hillary is still ahead in early voting but Trump has called on regretful Clinton voters to recall their ballot

The ABC/Washington Post poll showed the Republican candidate on 46 per cent, with his Democrat rival slipping one point behind him.

On October 23 the same poll showed Clinton with a seemingly unassailable 12-point lead.

Since then Clinton has had the most disastrous week of her $1billion campaign, with federal investigators reviving an investigation into her use of secret email servers to carry out government business.

Last Friday FBI Director James Comey announced in a letter to Congress that a tranche of 650,000 emails “pertinent” to the original probe into Clinton — which wrapped up in July — had been found.

They were discovered during a separate investigation into sext-shame former Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner, the husband of top Clinton aide Huma Adebin, who is accused of sending lewd messages to a 15-year-old girl.

Trump spoke in Wisconsin yesterday where he called on early voters for Clinton to switch to him in the wake of the FBI email probe

It was revealed yesterday the FBI is also pursuing alleged links between Trump advisers and the Kremlin.

Trump has been highly complimentary of the Russian premier during the early stages of the campaign, but has stood back from praising him in recent days after receiving criticism.

In August, Trump sacked his campaign manager Paul Manafort over his alleged links to the former pro-Moscow government in Ukraine.

Trump urges voters to cancel their ballots and switch to him

The Trump poll surge spelt further disaster for the Clinton camp when it revealed voters in key swing states Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Utah put the Republican candidate on a seven-point lead.

However, a small sample size here meant the margin for error was put at 5.5 points.

While Hillary leads among early voters, Trump took the opportunity yesterday to call on those who cast postal votes for her in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota to recall them.

In a 'poll of polls' by the Real Clear Politics website, Clinton leads by just 2.2 per cent -- down from 7 per cent last month.
