She has received about the same bounce as President Obama did after the 2008 and 2012 Democratic conventions. Trump leads Clinton among men, conservatives and white voters without college degrees. In data going back to 1984, Trump’s convention was the only one where people said on net that they were less likely to vote for the nominated candidate afterward.

An online survey conducted by RABA Research on Friday found that Clinton has surged ahead of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, securing support from 46 percent of respondents to Trump’s 31 percent.
Overall, more than four in five (82 percent) respondents were in favor of an immigration reform plan that supports a path to citizenship.
Almost half of registered voters say what they saw or read of the Democratic convention left them feeling more likely to vote Clinton vs. 39% who said it turned them off from supporting her. Trump’s convention merited a slight negative tilt on this question, according to a CNN/ORC Poll released last week, with 42% saying they would be more apt to back him vs. 44% less likely. The Manhattan billionaire is still locked in a tight race against the former secretary of state, as the RealClearPolitics polling average showed Clinton with a 2.2% lead over Trump. Three percent chose “other”.
In part that’s because Democrats hated Trump’s speech, and Republicans weren’t blown away. While 73 percent said they thought the GOP would unite by November in a post-GOP convention poll, just 66 percent say the same now.
Clinton is now looked on favorably by 36 percent of adults – but has a 50 percent unfavorable rating.

Trump’s favorable rating, meanwhile, has dropped down to 31 percent (it was previously at 34 percent), though his unfavorable rating is down a tick, moving to 52 percent from 53 percent. The poll has a margin of error of plus/minus 3 percent.
