We brief you on what you need to know about L.A. today.

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton outpaces challenger Donald Trump in several national polls, but that lead shrinks when you factor in third-party candidates.

Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson will also be on the ballot in November, and some voters who might have leaned towards Clinton are choosing one of these two if given the option.

Politico reporter Steven Shepard explained more to Take Two.
