Hillary Clinton's post-convention bump in the polls is still growing. The latest NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll out Tuesday shows Clinton now has a 10-point lead over Donald Trump, up from her 8-point winning margin last week and her slim 1-point lead two weeks ago. Her current lead marks "the biggest spread in the tracking poll" since early May, when a Clinton-Trump general election match-up was first measured, NBC News reported.
Moreover, Trump appears to be slipping with one of his key demographics: men. While he led Clinton in support from men by 16 points two weeks ago, he now leads her by 5 points. Meanwhile, Clinton's lead with women has grown to a 24-point advantage, up 10 points from two weeks ago. NBC News contends that if Trump is to regain his standing in the polls, he'll first have to win back the "few key Republican voting blocs" he's lost.
