Source: Talking Points Memo

Hillary Clinton took a double-digit lead over Donald Trump among registered voters nationally in a new Monmouth University poll out Monday, yet more evidence of a post-convention boost for the Democratic nominee.

Clinton received 46 percent support among registered voters, while Trump earned 34 percent. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson took 7 percent, and the Green Party’s Jill Stein received 2 percent.

In the last iteration of the poll, conducted just before the start of the Republican National Convention in mid-July, Clinton led Trump 43 percent to 40 percent.

Clinton’s support among self-identified Democrats rose from 88 percent in July to 92 percent in August, while Trump’s support among the Republican base fell slightly from 81 to 79 percent.
