Washington, August 8 (RHC)-- In the United States, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s lead over her Republican rival Donald Trump has reached eight points following both parties' presidential nominating conventions.

According to the Washington Post-ABC News poll released on Sunday, Clinton now leads Trump 50 percent to 42 percent among registered voters. The survey, carried out August 1st to the 4th, shows a twofold increase from what the Democrats held on the eve of the Republican convention in mid-July.

The survey shows that Clinton also leads Trump 51 percent to 44 percent among likely voters who have not registered to vote yet. The new poll is indicative of the fact that Hillary Clinton got a larger post-convention boost compared to what Trump received from his convention.

The poll also shows that registered voters are unhappy with both Clinton and Trump. “Almost 6 in 10 registered voters say they are dissatisfied with the choice between Clinton and Trump as the major-party candidates, virtually unchanged from mid-July,” according to the poll.
