The latest Pennsylvania poll is a reflection of what's happening nationally: Hillary Clinton's lead over Donald Trump is shrinking.

In a new Franklin & Marshall College poll released Thursday morning, Clinton leads Trump 47 to 40 percent among likely voters. That's down from the 49 to 38 percent lead she had after the Democratic National Convention.

Both she and Trump are galvanizing support from about 75 percent of their parties' registered voters.

According to the poll:

"More voters continue to believe Secretary Clinton rather than Mr. Trump has the experience to be president and is better prepared to handle foreign policy issues, although they are evenly divided on which candidate has the ability to fix the country's economic problems and which candidate will best protect the U.S. from terrorism."

Trump is maintaining his advantage among white voters with a high school degree or less, 52 to 35 percent. And Clinton has a similar lead among college-educated white voters, 50 to 29 percent.

While Trump continues to lead among white men, 41 to 38 percent, Clinton is still leading among white women, 45 to 38 percent.

As reflected in a Washington Post/ABC News poll Wednesday, nobody really likes these candidates.

In Pennsylvania, Clinton's favorable ratings tanked from 47 percent in July to 38 percent this week, as her unfavorable views increased from 49 percent to 54 percent in the same time period.

Trump improved his negative ratings, as the number of voters who view him unfavorably decreased from 62 percent in July to 58 percent this week. His favorable rating increased from 33 percent in July to 37 percent this week.

The F&M poll, which was conducted Aug. 25-29, also shows Democrat Katie McGinty leading Republican incumbent Pat Toomey among likely voters, 43 to 38 percent, in the U.S. Senate race. However, they're neck-and-neck among registered voters, with Toomey getting the advantage, 37 to 36 percent.
