Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by six-points in a Reuters/Ipsos post 2016 Democratic National Convention poll.

The online survey of 1,043 likely voters finds Clinton now topping Trump 41 percent to 35 percent with 25 percent of voters indicating a preference for another candidate.

The poll was taken from July 25 through July 29, the same four day period as the just concluded democratic convention in Philadelphia, where the likes of President Obama, chief democratic primary rival Bernie Sanders and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg all publicly expressed their endorsement of the former first lady.

Clinton's Optimism Shows

In contrast to Trump, Clinton offered an upbeat address and optimistic view of the world in her Thursday night prime-time acceptance speech. The former secretary of state and New York senator also cast herself as a sure-handed and steady leader.

During his party's junket earlier this month's in Cleveland, Trump painted the picture of an America burdened by social strife and economic hardship. The political neophyte went on to label all the issues problems "I alone can fix."

Both candidates were back on the campaign trial hours after the DNC officially wrapped up, with Trump charging Clinton of longing for a "borderless world where working people have no power, no jobs and no safety."

Clinton Winning in Pennsylvania

Meanwhile, a recent Suffolk University telephone poll of 500 voters taken on the night Clinton formally accepted the Democratic nomination also shows Clinton lapping Trump by nine points in the critical swing-state of Pennsylvania.

In a one-on-one match-up, Clinton garners 50 percent of the vote to Trump's 41 percent with eight percent of voters remaining undecided. The 9-point gap is the same margin Clinton led Trump by ( 45 percent to 36 percent) in a NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll prior to the start of the DNC.

Despite democrats having won the state in each of the last five presidential elections, Trump has campaigned heavily in Pennsylvania hoping to put the state back in play. He and newly named running-mate Mike Pence were recently in vice president Joe Biden's hometown of Scranton stumping for support.

When Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein were thrown into the Suffolk University mix, Clinton still topped Trump by the same nine points, 46 percent to 37 percent. Support for Johnson stood at five percent and two percent for Stein.

The Reuters poll represented a slight change of wording from previous polls with respondents given the option of "Neither/Other" instead of just "Other."
