Another poll is out showing Hillary Clinton with a widening lead following the conventions.

The Monmouth University Poll released Monday had the former secretary of State with the support of 46% of registered voters nationally, while Donald Trump had the support of 34%, Libertarian Gary Johnson had 7% backing and the Green Party’s Jill Stein had 2%. Among likely voters, Clinton had 50%, Trump 37%, Johnson 7% and Stein 2%.

While Clinton’s share of support did increase slightly after the convention, the widening gap is mostly due to a drop in support for the Republican nominee. In a poll taken before the convention, Clinton led Trump 43%-40% among registered voters.

Monday’s poll also found that Clinton was ahead of Trump 42%-34% in 10 swing states.

Clinton’s lead over Trump is consistent with many polls that came out following the conventions and a tough week for the Republican candidate. The RealClearPolitics polling average before the poll came out Monday had Clinton at 48% and Trump at 41%.

The poll of 803 registered voters was conducted via telephone Aug. 4-7. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.5 points.
