Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has widened her lead over White House rival Donald Trump to eight points after both parties'’nominating conventions, according to a Washington Post -ABC News poll out Sunday.
Ms. Clinton led Mr. Trump 50 to 42 per cent among registered voters, according to the telephone survey carried out August 1-4.
She got a strong bounce in the support from her nomination but has also benefitted from major gaffes by MR. Trump.
Ahead of the nominating conventions Ms. Clinton had a four-point lead over Mr. Trump, according to an Post-ABC News survey.
Satisfaction with both candidates remains low: nearly 6 in 10 registered voters said that they are unhappy with both Ms. Clinton and Mr. Trump as major party candidates. — AFP
