"Hillary Clinton's wide lead over Donald Trump in the race for the White House has been cut in half, according to a new national Monmouth University poll released today. 

The Democratic nominee held a wide 50 percent to 37 percent lead in the wake of her party’s convention in a Monmouth poll in early August, but now that lead appears to have tightened to 7 percentage points -- 46 percent to 39 percent among likely voters....

The change shows some signs of a post-convention bump wearing off among likely voters: She’s lost 

10 percentage points among nonwhites, 

9 points among college grads, 

7 points among women and voters under 35 years old, and a slight 

6 points among liberals and Democrats."...
