PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton leads her Republican rival Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, according to the latest 6abc/Franklin and Marshall poll.

Those results, released Thursday, show Clinton leading Trump 49 percent to 38 percent among likely voters in Pennsylvania.

This suggests Clinton got quite a bounce from her convention last week here in Philadelphia.

Nearly two out of three people who watched the Democratic convention reported being more likely to vote for Clinton.

Meanwhile, in the campaign for Pennsylvania's Senate seat, Democrat Katie McGinty has a one-point lead over Republican Sen. Pat Toomey - 39 percent to 38 percent - among likely voters.

The sample error for both surveys is six percentage points.
