Hillary Clinton is dominating in post-convention polls showing voters believe she is better equipped to handle foreign policy issues than her opponent, Donald Trump. Fifty-nine percent of voters said they believe Clinton would be better at dealing with foreign policy, as opposed to just 36 percent who said Trump would be, a CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday found.
The poll comes after Trump has received heavy criticism for calling on Russia to hack Clinton's "missing" emails, and faced increasing disapproval over his disparaging comments regarding the parents of Capt. Humayun Khan, a Muslim-American soldier killed in Iraq.
