Donald Trump got a 6-point bump and has passed Hillary Clinton coming out of the Republican convention, according to a new CNN/ORC poll.

The poll had the Republican nominee at 48% and Clinton at 45% in a head-to-head match-up. CNN's survey earlier in July had Clinton ahead 49% to 42% over Trump.

The findings from CNN/ORC come the same day a CBS poll has the presumptive Democratic nominee tied with Trump, with each at 42%.

Trump celebrated the polls Monday morning.

RealClearPolitics now shows Trump edging Clinton by 0.2 points in its latest rolling average of polls.

The polls come on the first day of the Democratic convention in Philadelphia as the party tries to come together following the resignation of chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Sunday after the release of a batch of emails that show some top party aides favored Clinton during the primary.
