From Monmouth.edu:
Long Branch, NJ - Hillary Clinton has taken a double digit lead over Donald Trump according to the latest Monmouth University Poll . This compares to the slim two point lead she held among likely voters just before the two major parties held their conventions. Both candidates remain unpopular, but the Democrat has a growing advantage on being seen as more temperamentally suited for the presidency. Still, Clinton's email use remains a problem for her, while voters are divided on the impact of Trump's attitude toward Russia. The poll also found that voters are less optimistic and enthusiastic about the 2016 election than they were one year ago.
Currently, 46% of registered voters support Clinton and 34% back Trump, with 7% supporting Libertarian Gary Johnson, and 2% backing Jill Stein of the Green Party. Support among likely voters stands at 50% Clinton, 37% Trump, 7% Johnson, and 2% Stein. In a poll taken days before the Republican convention in mid-July, Clinton held a narrow 43% to 40% lead among registered voters and a 45% to 43% lead among likely voters.
Clinton has solidified support among her partisan base since the conventions while Trump struggles to lock in his. More than 9-in-10 Democrats (92%) say they will vote for Clinton, up from 88% in July and 85% in June. Just 79% of Republicans are backing Trump, which is virtually unchanged from prior polls (81% in July and 79% in June).

Update 1:
From stuhunter3 in the comments:
50% likely voters for Clinton...thats the great news here!
And from Its the Supreme Court Stupid:
I would add that, as far as I know, this is the first 4-way poll to show her at or above 50%. And, with likely voters. Plus, Nate rates Monmouth A+ (with a 0.6 Dem lean)
And from typo ink:
This poll really sent the 538 models into overdrive, with Clinton now at 86.6% in the Polls Only and 95.4% in the Nowcast, where SC just turned a light shade of blue. Sure is fun to look at.
