Just before Republicans opened the convention on Monday, Trump had trailed Clinton by nearly 10 percentage points in the poll. Given the poll’s credibility interval of about 4 percentage points, Trump and Clinton should be considered to be about even in the race. In 2012, then-Republican nominee Mitt Romney rose by about 5 percentage points in the Reuters/Ipsos poll after his party’s convention. New York: Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has pulled nearly even with Democratic rival Hillary Clinton for the first time since May, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll taken over the course of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this week. The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted in English in all 50 states with 1,036 likely voters.
