I would bet that the bounce would be much bigger if the media had taken a neutral position during the convention, instead of obsessing about Malania Trump’s speech for 3 days, and highlighting the Cruz situation. I also suspect that the bounce is at least a few points higher than the polls show, because some people aren’t willing to say that they will vote for him.

Morning Consult survey indicates the typical post-convention bump that a party tends to receive following their gathering

Yup. No surprise here.

I'm expecting that H->illary will get the same bump after the dim convention.

DJT supporters can't get complacent. Figure that 90% of the media will be actively reporting against him, or at least failing to report positive Trump-related news. That's an enormous hurdle to overcome.

I think the polls are rigged for the most part and Trump is further ahead than indicated. What I don’t get is why Hillary can have even 25% support at this point. People know that she is dishonest and they know she uses her position to take bribe money and sell her influence. It is sad to see that so many are suckers for the media.

Yup...I’m sure Hillary will be up by 5 or more points at the end of their freak-show convention as well.

But … but … but … the experts told us that he had a ceiling that he could not pass. They are experts. They can’t be wrong, can they?

Every candidate has a ceiling. It just so happens that Hillary's is lower than Trump's. After she loses, she will blame the "glass ceiling".

His acceptance speech suit. Red power tie. Suit dark blue. White shirt. National colors.

I accidentally listened to Good Morning America this morning (only 20 seconds before barfing) only to be informed that the 1st Wookie is speaking today and is the most loved political figure in the country.

We ain’t got a chance!

It jibes with other recent polling.

"When you factor in hidden support, actually probably more like a 15-20% Trump lead at this point .."

Exactly, I think there is a groundswell of secret support coming for Trump in Nov. Praying for a historical landslide!

CNN is reporting a 6 point Trump convention bounce and other networks reporting up to a 9 point bounce. The bounce is still developing as we speak. Its only a few days since our convention ended and two of those days were on a weekend.

Historically the average “bounce” after a convention is 1%.

I like it, but I can’t stand the overuse of the word “surge” and variations of the word “surge.”

“Is it too early in the day for popcorn!”

i think the rule of thumb is that you shouldn’t have popcorn before 5:00pm or otherwise you might be a popcornaholic.

A lot of people here speak of popcorn but I'm not sure that is the healthiest snack. It can also make a mess.

I think what we should do is eat raw Brussels sprouts. Now what I do is chop them up and put them in a bowl. That is, you cut off the end, slice in half and let the outer leaves fall off (you don't want to eat those). They are quite good when eaten raw. However, if you must roast them, make sure you use olive oil, pepper, bacon bits and just a little kosher salt. Let them brown on the outside.

Unfortunately, I’m one of the persons who lacks the genetic mutation that obviates the bitter flavor inherent to Brussels sprouts, so I can’t stand to eat the damn things.

Now that’s what I call a post-convention “bounce.”
