U.S. political surveys are showing that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has regained her edge over Republican contender Donald Trump in the aftermath of last week’s Democratic convention where she and a raft of other speakers attacked his credentials to be the American leader.
Trump, a real estate tycoon seeking elected office for the first time, enjoyed a similar bump in polling against Clinton, a former U.S. secretary of state, after the Republican convention two weeks ago with its barrage of taunts against her.

But now that both of the quadrennial conventions are over, CBS News said Clinton leads Trump 46 percent to 39, similar to her 43-37 lead in mid-June. The television network’s poll in the days after Trump claimed the Republican nomination more than a week ago showed the race tied at 42 apiece.

Voters now hold a 36 percent to 50 percent favorable-unfavorable view of Clinton, while Trump is at 31-52. For the full article click here
