 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has pulled 5 points ahead of Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton in a four-way race for the White House, a new CNN/ORC Poll shows.

In a race including Libertarian Gary Johnson and Jill Stein of the Green Party, the breakdown in the poll released Monday shows:

    Trump: 44 percent
    Clinton: 39 percent
    Johnson: 9 percent
    Stein: 3 percent


Trump's advantage over Clinton declines to 48 percent-45 percent when respondents were asked to choose between only the two major party candidates.

Although the two-way results are within the poll's 3.5 point margin of error, Trump's number represents a 6-point post Republican National Convention bounce.

CNN report that the poll shows Trump's best performance since September, and indicates the first significant post-convention bounce for any candidate in its polling in 16 years.

In 2000, Al Gore and George W. Bush each got an 8-point post-convention bounce in CNN/ORC surveys.

The CNN/ORC Poll used a random sample of 1,001 adults and was conducted by telephone July 22-24.

Most Trump supporters suspected that once the general election began Mr. Trump would easily erase any Hillary lead that showed up in head-to-head polling earlier this year.

The general election campaign is about to begin officially with Hillary's nomination this week, and true to form, Donald Trump is beating Hillary, as he did handily with the crowded Republican field.

If there's one thing good about this election, it is the assurance that one of these two bozos will lose.

He might even prove to be competitive if he can learn to STHU about Cruz and Kasich.
