Hillary Clinton managed to undo Donald Trump's gains following the Republican Party's national convention, where delegates made a display of shouting 'Lock her up!' every night.

She now leads him by eight points in NBC's weekly tracking poll 50 -42, and by nine points in CNN's latest survey, 52 -43 percent. A week prior it was Trump on top in CNN's poll with 48 percent to Clinton's 45 percent.

Both the NBC and CNN surveys were conducted into the weekend while Trump was under fire for assailing a Muslim-American family who's son died in Iraq. NBC's data came from the entire week of the Democratic National Convention.

Still a majority of Americans who were polled by CNN remain unconvinced that Clinton is honesty and trustworthy despite a concerted effort during the convention by her aides and top Democrats, including President Barack Obama, to address the issue.

Clinton began the conventions with 34 percent of Americans saying they trust her. She ended the conventions in the same place, after suffering a four-point dip in between directly after the onslaught from Republicans.

But they don't trust Trump, either - CNN says 35 percent said they believe what Trump says.

Americans' wariness about both tickets suggests it could be a race to the bottom between now and Election Day.

For Clinton, her email scandal could be her undoing. She and running mate Tim Kaine have retaliated by mocking Trump's signature phrase 'believe me' and saying voters shouldn't in fact believe 'one word' that comes out of the tycoon's mouth.

Coming off the convention voters are convinced that she wants to be a uniter and has the good of the country, not her own personal gain, in mind, indicating that other themes her campaign is pushing are breaking through.

In both categories, 48 percent of Americans are now in agreement with her message.

Clinton has placed a special emphasis in the general election of portraying Trump as someone who wants to divide Americans and families, both verbally and physically with the wall he's proposing on the southern border.

'We heard Donald Trump’s answer last week at his convention. He wants to divide us from the rest of the world and from each other,' she said in her Thursday evening address to the nation. 'He’s betting that the perils of today’s world will blind us to its unlimited promise.'

She invoked Republican hero Ronald Reagan and said of Trump, 'He’s taken the Republican Party a long way from ‘Morning in America’ to ‘Midnight in America.’ He wants us to fear the future and fear each other.

The Democratic candidate says she will unite the country because 'we are stronger together' and break down physical and societal 'barriers' holding back large groups of Americans who feel they've been left behind in today's economy.

A majority of Americans remain unconvinced, however, that she is honesty and trustworthy despite a concerted effort during the convention by her aides and top Democrats, including President Barack Obama, to address the issue

'Donald Trump’s not offering real change. He’s offering empty promises,' she charged. 'And what are we offering? A bold agenda to improve the lives of people across our country – to keep you safe, to get you good jobs, to give your kids the opportunities they deserve.'

Convention programming, as well as ads she's been running in states that will determine the outcome of the election, played up her work on behalf of women and children from her early days as a lawyer when she worked at the Children's Defense Fund through her time as first lady when she fought for universal healthcare.

It also included prime-time speeches from average Americans, like Mr. and Mrs. Khizr Khan and the 'Mothers of the Movement' whose children died in incidents involving guns, who have endorsed Clinton.

Their words helped give her a five-point bump with 'ordinary Americans.' Half of them, 50 percent, now believe she is 'in touch' with their problems.

Overall, 48 percent of respondents to the CNN survey say that Hillary Clinton will move the country in the right direction, up from 43 percent before the parties' respective nominating conventions.

Trump shed two percent support in that category and stands at 38 - 10 points below Clinton.

He is also viewed more unfavorably than Clinton by all Americans, and more importantly, registered voters.

Six in 10 voters say they have a negative opinion of the billionaire. Just 35 percent say they like him.

Clinton's numbers are low, too, but they're slightly higher than her opponent's. A majority also view her unfavorably, 54 percent, while 43 percent have positive feelings toward the former first lady and secretary of state.

Her spokesman cast Trump today as a candidate who is 'unraveling.'

'He's coming off a convention that turns out it was a net negative for him, ' said national spokesman Brian Fallon.

Regaling Trump's post convention woes, Fallon said, ‘He spent the last five days on his heels, defending this fight that he has needlessly picked with a Gold Star family, the Khans, and just in the last 24 hours he's even lost a sitting Republican member of Congress. Richard Hanna from New York has come out and crossed partisan aisles to endorse Hillary Clinton.

'And for our part, I think you've seen in the polls that have come out in the aftermath of our convention that we have momentum.'

Clinton's numbers are up in key categories across the board, he noted, and she announced this morning that she raised $90 million for herself and other Democrats in July.

'I think that the wind is at our backs we have a great sense of momentum coming out of our convention, and Donald Trump I think is resorting to name-calling because again his campaign just continues to unravel,' he said, making reference to Trump's framing at a rally on Monday of Clinton as the 'devil.'

Trump is viewed more unfavorably than Clinton by all Americans, and more importantly, registered voters. Six in 10 say they have a negative opinion of the billionaire. Just 35 percent say they like him. A majority also view her unfavorably, 54 percent, while 43 percent have positive feelings

CNN's survey primarily dealt with questions about Clinton coming out of her party's convention.

It also asked about both candidates' families.

Despite stand-out performances from Trump's adult children who are frequently at his side on the campaign trail - Ivanka, Don Jr. and Eric - two-thirds of Americans said they don't believe they should have a policy role in their father's administration.

They don't think Bill and Chelsea should be working at the White House, either, in a policy position. The poll found that 57 percent of voters do not want Bill and Chelsea Clinton involved in making policy.

That upends conventional wisdom and Hillary Clinton's argument on the trail that her administration would be bettered by having her husband on board, given his extensive experience working on economic issue. He was, after all, president for eight years himself.

NBC meanwhile observed Hillary Clinton's scores jumping after the Democratic convention, with 20 percent of voters - up from 15 before - now saying they are strongly in favor of her.

The party itself may have taken a hit, though, after the Wikileaks email scandal exposed Democratic officials and forced party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz to resign the evening before the convention was gaveled to order.

In the NBC poll 35 percent of voters said they view the Democratic Party less favorably after last week. Another 37 percent said their opinion wasn't changed, and 27 percent said they feel better about it.

Following the Democratic convention, members of the party were significantly more likely to believe the party was united than they were in weeks prior.

As of last weekend 44 percent of self-identified Democrats said the party is united now. At the end of the Democratic primary in mid-June three in 10 members of the party said the same thing.

Republicans felt increasingly united during their party's week-long gathering in July, but by the end of last week the feeling was fading.

Two in 10 Republicans say the party is cohesively moving in the same direction, down four from 24 percent immediately after the convention, but up four from the week before that.

The general election now formally underway, more voters also say they've made their minds up about who they'll be supporting.
