Hillary Clinton leads rival Donald Trump by 8 points following the Democratic National Convention, according to the latest NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll.
Clinton has 50 percent support to Trump's 42 percent in the poll released early Tuesday. Clinton's support has grown while Trump's has decreased since last month's poll, which had her ahead by 1 point, 46 to 45 percent.
Clinton's favorability among Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters also rose 6 points, to 80 percent, after the Democratic convention, while her unfavorables fell 5 points, to 19 percent.
It's the latest post-convention poll finding Clinton ahead. A CNN/ORC poll released late Monday found Clinton leading Trump by 9 points, 52 to 43 percent, while a CBS poll also released Monday found her up 6 points, 47 to 41 percent.
