A new CNN/ORC Poll has found that Hillary Clinton has a 9% lead over her Republican rival Donald Trump.
Besides improving her standing against Trump, Clinton's convention appears to have boosted the share of Americans who think her policies will move the country in the right direction (from 43% before either convention to 48% now), while Trump's right direction number held roughly steady following the back-to-back political gatherings in Cleveland and Philadelphia.
More of Clinton's backers also say they are certain to support her come November.
