Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton held a 6- percentage-point lead over Republican rival Donald Trump, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll with new wording that was released on Friday, the day after she formally accepted her party's nomination for the Nov. 8 election.

Nearly 41 percent of likely voters favor Clinton, 35 percent favor Trump, and 25 percent picked "Other," according to the new July 25-29 online poll of 1,043 likely voters, which overlapped with the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

The poll has a credibility interval of 4 percentage points.

1. Whole lot of "other"

2. 25% Other? Wow.

Still lots of work to do, although it's pretty hard to imagine what those people are thinking. How can you not want to have a say in this particular election?

3. Is that the same poll that had them tied a few days ago?

If so, that's great news.

4. Yes.

5. No... I think she was up by four at the end of the RNC convention

Up by 11 a couple weeks earlier

On edit, DI is correct. There was another poll released in between the two.

Interestingly, they appear to have changed their wording.

10. No

They had Trump up 1 two days ago. That's a 7 point swing. Open the link and gobtobyhe graph, I shows the history.

7. Nice

Was +5 earlier today before the latest numbers came in.

8. Most of this seems to have been taken before the convention was over,

so.... things ought to improve from here, IMHO.

9. +1

[flamingdem]

11. Yes, fingers crossed

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

12. Pretty good for only the day after

Next week will be more telling.

13. Should be a good weekend for us

There should be good poll numbers coming in for the whole weekend and into next week. I want to see Hillary leading in every single poll by Tuesday. She could be up by 12 in this poll soon.
