Prior to the event, Clinton had 34 percent of their support compared to Trump's 31 percent.

The latest poll, which was conducted between July 22 and 24, 46 percent of independents championed Trump and 28 percent said they are backing Clinton.

Respondents were less impressed by the convention overall, with 58 percent noting an excess amount of time was devoted to attacking Democrats.
