The Reuters poll was after a change in methodology. It is explained by Reuters on their website. In a matchup with the nominees for the Libertarian and Green parties, Reuters shows Trump and Clinton to be in a tie.
They don't say what the actual impact was, but I am guessing the original wording benefited Clinton because two weeks ago she was doing about 6 points in Reuters than in any other poll.
See what Reuters did here:

The LA Times tracking poll was until the 29th ....... would we not expect some movement after four days of the convention?

That's the Labor Day Theory, which may be completely irrelevant this year. Remember the Brexit vote? It "never could have happened" back in the spring.
The Brexit vote was entirely consistent with polls.
Sure, the polls taken in the last week or so before the election
