Hillary Clinton comes out of the Democratic convention ahead by nine points, 52-43, in a new CNN/ORC poll, reversing her drop from last week.

The poll, conducted in the three days following the convention, reverses Trump’s three-point lead in a CNN/ORC poll conducted immediately after the Republican National Convention.

Clinton has held a lead over Trump in every other CNN/ORC poll conducted since October.

With third party candidates included, Clinton led with 45 percent, with Trump at 37 percent, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson at 9 percent, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein polled at 5 percent.

The poll surveyed 894 registered voters over the phone nationally from July 29-31, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.

  1. The margin of error really should be added to HRC’s numbers as it was added to Trump’s…

    Waiting for Mr Trump to say

    1. The poll is rigged
    2. The poll is flawed
    3. The media influenced the numbers
    4. The always popular, “It’s Obama’s fault”

    Next move to pre-emptively declare he will no longer participate in future polls.

    Damnation. Romney’s totals among non-whites are going to sparkle in comparison. (From CNN poll)

    Among non-whites (30% of population), Republicans are in fourth place, after Democrats, Greens, & Libertarians. https://t.co/0D1vfHm8n6

    He just declared that the “election” will be “rigged.” I wish E Warren had never* used that term.*

  5. Hopefully this is the new baseline and the Clinton campaign can build from here. Particularly increasing in the key “swing” states of OH, PA, FL, VA and FL.
