New Morning Consult Poll: Hillary's 7 point swing now puts her 3 points ahead.

The 3 point lead is within the 4 point margin of error -- but the 7 point swing is good to see.

Hillary Clinton is once again leading Donald Trump in the presidential race after her party’s Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

The former secretary of State leads the brash businessman, 43 percent to 40 percent, in a new Morning Consult survey taken in the days following the DNC gathering. It’s a 7-point swing from the previous poll, in which Trump surged to a 4-point lead following the Republican National Committee’s convention in Cleveland.

Almost one in five voters (17 percent) remain undecided.

I expect Hillary +3 to be an outlier pretty soon, she'll be double digits up in a lot of polls in the next 10 days.

This Khan fiasco is gaining steam.

Donald Trump Releases Do-Over Statement on the Late Capt. Khan, Plus Superfluous Transcript

After taking tremendous heat Saturday over his toxic reaction to the parents of the late Captain Humayun Khan, a Muslim soldier who was killed in Iraq, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign released a statement overnight attempting something resembling damage control. The statement itself attempted to reset Trump’s initial reaction to the Khans, without apologizing, and the campaign also released what it called the “Full Transcript of Khizr Khan Answer,” which contained precisely zero differences from the clips ABC News put out.
