Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton’s favorability ratings are virtually the same level in mid-October as they were before the Republican and Democratic conventions, according to a new Gallup poll released Wednesday evening.
Clinton began and ended with a 10-point favorability advantage over Trump between the convention and this week. Clinton was viewed positively by 40 percent of national adults in early July and was viewed favorably by 41 percent of people in the Oct. 11-17 survey. The former secretary of state peaked at 43 percent in early August following the Democratic National Convention. Her lowest level was 38 percent at various points throughout the summer.
