Clinton had a 7-point lead, 49 percent to 42 percent, in the same poll before last week’s GOP convention.

Forty-six percent view Trump favorably, pollsters found, up from 39 percent. Forty-three percent say Trump is honest and trustworthy, an increase from 38 percent before the convention in Cleveland. Thirty-nine percent also say they would be proud to have Trump as president, compared with 32 percent who that before the gathering.
