Poll: Clinton up seven nationally but Trump has cut her lead in half

Clinton has 43 percent support to Trump’s 36 percent. She led Trump by 15 points in last week’s edition of the same poll.

The poll comes amid the weeklong Republican National Convention where Trump is becoming the party’s nominee. Political parties typically see a bounce in the polls during and immediately after their conventions.

Clinton’s lead appears to have slipped across polls since FBI Director James Comey revealed his findings in the investigation into her private email server. The FBI did not recommend an indictment but did sharply criticize the former secretary of State as “careless.”
