Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton expected an approval bump following her DNC acceptance speech, but multiple national polls released this week may more favorable than she or rival Republican candidate Donald Trump expected.

Clinton holds an eight-point lead over Trump in a head-to-head race and in a four-way race featuring two independent candidates, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll published Sunday.

The former secretary of state leads 50 percent to 42 percent among registered voters asked to select between Clinton and Trump. Clinton's lead remains at eight points if Green Party nominee Jill Stein and Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson are included.

Nearly 60 percent said Clinton has the personality and temperament to serve as president, compared to 33 percent for Trump. Three-quarters of voters disapproved of Trump criticizing Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the Gold Star parents who lost their son during the Iraq War in 2004.

An NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll released Thursday has Clinton edging Trump by nine points, 47 percent to 38 percent, improving on her five-point lead of a month ago. Voters believed Clinton is better on immigration, foreign policy, racial relations, and homeland security, where she narrowly beat Trump by a one-point margin.

A McClatchy-Marist Poll released the same day found Clinton and running mate Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine carry a 15-point lead over Trump and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, a 12-point jump from July.

Clinton lead is just as considerable in swing states. On average, Clinton leads by 15 points in New Hampshire; 11 points in Pennsylvania; nine points in Michigan; and six points in Florida.

Overcoming Trust Issues

Both candidates continue to overcome image problems, though Democrats are more likely to vote for Clinton despite her controversies than Republicans are to vote for Trump. Over 60 percent of voters said Trump is neither honest nor trustworthy; about the same percentage (59 percent) though the same of Clinton.

On Thursday, Trump claimed he saw video of a U.S. aircraft delivering a $400 million cash payment to Iran, suggesting it was sent as payment for the release of American hostages. Trump backtracked a day later, clarifying that he saw video of Americans arriving in Geneva.

Clinton, known for her aversion to press conferences, met with reported on Friday to admit that her uses of the term "truthful" was misleading.

"What I told the FBI, which (Director James Comey) said was truthful, is consistent with what I have said publicly," Clinton said. "I may have short-circuited and for that I will try to clarify."

Courting Latinos

Clinton's remakes came as she addressed a joint convention of black and Hispanic Journalists in Washington D.C., where she listed African-American staffers she's had a "lifetime of friendship" with. Clinton said she hoped Democrats would win back the House in order to pass comprehensive immigration and criminal justice reform.

While Trump still leads among white voters and seniors, Clinton fared better among women, young voters, and minorities.

Latinos made up 10 percent of the NBC News poll and 12 percent of the McClatchy-Marist poll. They, along with other non-whites, told Washington Post pollsters that they would vote for Clinton over Trump by a 75 percent to 18 percent margin.
