Proves Clinton’s Post-Convention Bounce Is Now a Surge
A brand new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Thursday evening shows former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton beating businessman Donald Trump by nine points. This is just one of many national and state polls released this week, after the Democratic National Convention which ended one week ago today, that have delivered monumental gains for the Democratic presidential nominee.
In this new NBC/WSJ poll (details), Clinton beats Trump 47 percent to 38 percent.
Trump won a majority of voters in only one category: his unfavorability rating, at 61%. His lowest marks were from African-Americans, where only one percent said they would vote for him.
in NBC/WSJ poll, Trump trails Clinton among African-Americans by 91%-1%

There was a time when at every rally, Trump would say he could get 25% of the black vote & election would be “over.” At 1% in NBC/WSJ poll.
