newly released polls and Trump still trailed in the majority of them.

That's pitiful.

Considering Day One of the DNC >>>> Day One of the RNC, Mrs. Clinton's bounce should be higher.

Friends and Brother hard as nails ant-trump have been keeping me up on the day’s events..
I’ve been depressed all day regarding these polls showing a Trump bounce..

Thanks for the bit of good news... took my temp down 3 degrees.

Notice how he didn't link anything in support of his statement.

if we win i”m sending ya a bottle... Seriously..

Im usually a pretty optimistic guy.. But I got down this am, went to work, im home tired and glad for your posts.

Still, his RCP bounce thus far is less than 3 points. It will most likely top out at 5 (roughly what Romney got) and then will quickly be erased by Hillary's bounce.

Concern level: 3/10

It doesn't exist.

CBS - Trump +1%
CNN - Trump +3%
YouGov - Clinton +5%
LA Times/USC - Trump +4%

The other polls you cite are pre-convention and I don't know how useful that is.

... nationally and one poll showing ahead in OHIO with spread vote (not head to head)

I'll wait but I don't see a bump seeing all the polling that has come in so far

But I need to hear a bit of good news.. Thanks.

they wouldn't know what a trainwreck it was

But not everyone knows it. I've been shocked at some of my friends that are supporting Trump. This election IMO - is going to be completely unpredictable. I do think Trump is a master at branding and manipulation. I don't doubt that he had a hand in the timing of the leaked DNC emails. This could be a very close election and an October surprise could change everything. It could also be a landslide for Clinton. We don't know, so you are correct, all we can control is the things we can control which means working to turn out voters for Clinton/Kaine and downticket Dems.

He unfortunately got one... what do you guys think Hillary will get out of this convention.. i think 6 or more points would be pretty good!

I know the FEAR TRUMP meme is running all over this website, but .2% lead in the running avg of national polls at RCP half a week after his nominating convention doesn't look terribly imperiling.

The gap in the running average which was only around 3 percent has closed, but it wasn't much of a gap to begin with.

A lot of that is about popular support to his opposition to TransPacific Trade Pact. Opposition to TTP has widely shared popularity in both party bases and among independents.

The increased marketing the democratic convention will give to HRC's popular issues is very likely to raise her numbers and they may move a lot, because the emphasis on FEAR TRUMP has left many Dems unable to innumerate where HRC is coming from.

The convention, as it always does, will educate and convince many Americans that the nominee's proposed presidential mission is something they support.

The polls are very likely to move around quite a bit between now and Nov. if for no reason other than his often racially baited America-first know-nothingism regularly offends even members of the party that has nominated him.
