Hillary Clinton has received a bump in support after the Democratic convention and has now pulled ahead of Donald Trump.
Forty-six percent of voters nationwide say they'll vote for Clinton in November, while 39 percent say they'll back Trump. The race was tied last week after the Republican convention. Clinton led by a similar margin in June. Clinton got a four-point bounce after her party's convention, compared to a two-point bump for Trump after his convention.
When compared to previous Democratic presidential nominees, Clinton's bounce is similar to those President Obama got in 2012 and 2008, but short of the 13-point bounce her husband, Bill Clinton, received in 1992. In 2000, support for Al Gore rose 10 points after the Democratic convention, but he went on to lose a close race that fall.
When leaners are included - voters who are undecided when initially asked their vote preference but lean toward a candidate - Clinton leads Trump by six points. Clinton also retains her lead when Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson is added. Voters who back a candidate remain firm in their support. Nine in 10 Clinton and Trump voters say their minds are made up about their candidate.
In the wake of the Democratic convention, positive views of Hillary Clinton have risen five points among registered voters, from 31 percent a week ago to 36 percent today. Unfavorable views of Hillary Clinton have dropped six points: from 56 percent to 50 percent.

Whther she got one or not, in fact, I say let the press pretend that she did, and not criticize them (this time) for lying. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Propaganda rules the day because too many Americans are stupid enough to hand themselves over to rely on government for their own survival.
Tomorrows headline CLINTON SURGES AHEAD!!
BS
Registered voters and not likely voters.
They reveal one demographic — party affiliation
26% Republican
33% Democrat
40% Independent
We don’t know region, gender, etc.
For all we know, these were all blue state women.
Yes, that's odd. I bet they are waiting for a Trump "gaffe" (ie, true statement) to drop him and make headlines with it.
Trump calls obama "loser," plummets 7 points in latest poll!!
We maybe looking at closer election then we think. I'm not in the landslide camp, but I don't think Clinton will win, and Trump will sweep the upper Midwest sans Minnesota. He will blow her away in NC and Florida and squeak out Pa and Iowa. I do predict a surprise here or there election night like maybe winning a state like Illinois or a state in the NE.
I really get tired of the rip the poll mentality. I’m sure some are wrong but we’ve done this here for the last two elections and the polls have been pretty accurate. Unfortunately, this is where we are in America I’m afraid.
CBS helped hitlery to beat Bernie the commie via fake polls.
CBS is a pro government fascist and globalist organization worse that the Soviet’s Pravda.
