Hillary Clinton's lead over Donald Trump has grown to double-digits in yet another poll.
The former secretary of state holds a 10-point advantage, 51 percent to 41 percent, over the Manhattan billionaire in a new NBC News/Survey Monkey Poll. Clinton's lead over Trump among poll respondents is up two points relative to a week ago and up nine points since the end of the Democratic National Convention.

The poll, one of many that shows Clinton with a substantial lead, shows that Trump appears to have put himself in a hole with voters in the wake of his campaign's worst week yet. The real estate mogul spent much of last week dealing with the fallout of his criticism of the Gold Star parents of a fallen Muslim soldier and of his initial refusal to endorse prominent Republican lawmakers Paul Ryan, John McCain and Kelly Ayotte. Under intense scrutiny, Trump eventually endorsed all three but not until the week of negative headlines had seemingly taken its toll.
Trump's rough week appears to have set him back even with some groups that make up his core constituency. He trails Clinton by four points, 48 percent to 44 percent, among voters without a college education, a group that supported Trump by as many as nine points at the beginning of July. The reality TV star's lead among white evangelicals remains high at percent, but is still down sharply from 60 percent a month ago.
The former secretary of state is also closing the lead Trump holds among men. Over the past month, Clinton has managed to whittle down Trump's advantage with male respondents to five points, a significant dip from his 16-point lead he held two weeks ago. With women respondents, Clinton's lead has grown to 24 points, 10 points better than last week's poll.
The NBC News/Survey Monkey poll was conducted online nationwide from Aug. 1 to Aug. 7, contacting 11,480 adults who said they are registered to vote. The poll's margin of error is plus-or-minus 1.2 percentage points.
