After the conclusion of the
Democratic convention,
Hillary Clinton is opening up her lead over Donald Trump by significant
margins nationwide and in key battleground states, according to a new
set of polls out Thursday.
In a national Fox News poll, Clinton
has a 10-point advantage over Trump, 49 percent to 39 percent -- a jump
from her six-point lead over the GOP nominee last month. Sixty-five
percent of voters say Clinton is qualified to be president, compared to
just 43 percent that believe the same of Trump.
In New Hampshire, a
WBUR poll shows Clinton with a 15-point advantage over Trump, 47
percent to the GOP nominee's 32 percent. If Libertarian nominee Gary
Johnson and Green party candidate Jill Stein are taken out of the
picture, Clinton's lead widens to 17 points. Democrats seem to be
unifying behind Clinton, with at least 86 percent of the party saying
they would support their candidate. Trump, meanwhile, only has the
support of 63 percent of registered Republicans.
Clinton's
unfavorable ratings have also dropped, from 58 percent to 45 percent,
with a corresponding 10 percent bump in her favorability. Forty-eight
percent of likely New Hampshire voters believe Clinton is qualified to
be president, while less than a third believe the same of Trump.
The
Senate race also shows a Democratic lead, with New Hampshire Gov.
Maggie Hassan leading by 10 points in her race against incumbent
Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte.
In Colorado, meanwhile, a Real Clear
Politics average shows Clinton up by eight points, with 45 percent of support compared to Trump's 37 percent.
The
Fox News poll surveyed 1,022 registered voters nationwide and was
conducted from July 31 to August 2. The poll has a margin of three
percentage points. The WBUR poll surveyed 609 likely voters in the 2016
General Election in New Hampshire from July 29 to August 1, 2016. The
margin of error is four percentage points.
