Donald Trump holds a roughly 5-point lead over Hillary Clinton two days after the Democratic National Convention. The People’s Pundit Daily Presidential Election Daily Tracking Poll finds Mr. Trump at 47.6% to 42.1% for Mrs. Clinton, a lead that is largely fueled by a greater consolidation of the Republican base and a lead among independent voters.
Perhaps the biggest story regarding the post convention polling data is the shift toward Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein and the collapse of Libertarian Party candidate, former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson.
On July 19, the first day of the Republican convention, Gov. Johnson enjoyed roughly 9% support in the 4-way matchup, and Dr. Stein was polling at an usually high 3% (her support has ranged from 1% to 3%). Now, no doubt a result of the embarrassing WikiLeak release of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee, Dr. Stein has increased to her highest level of support to date (4.3%).
Meanwhile, the decline of Mrs. Clinton’s support began even before the conventions began, with voters turning markedly more negative in their views toward the former secretary of state in light of the statements made by FBI Director James Comey. She has struggled to recover ever since and would likely be far higher if a significant number of her own party wasn’t opting for Dr. Stein, Gov. Johnson and even Mr. Trump.
Mr. Trump is drawing more Democrats (17%) than Mrs. Clinton is drawing from Republicans (9%).
Also worth noting, Mr. Trump was fairly successful at rehabilitating his image among a large number of voters who previously held a less favorable view of him, while views of Mrs. Clinton changed almost immeasurably after the convention....

This is Hugh and Series!!!!!
WE CAN WIN THIS THING!!!!!!! Yes, it’s the ultimate pessimist saying that!!
This is the third post dem convention poll whereh he’s up 5!!!!!
Trump needs to not loose what he has gained. He needs to lay off Twitter for a day and get back on message. Hopefully, he has a strong morning Sunday on the shows to generate some new stories.
I been posting with the assumption that Trump can’t lose at this point.
Then I am surprised by the people having fits about it.
Like, huh?
Never heard of these guys. Any info on the reliability of the poll? USC/Dornsife doesn’t seem to have released numbers today.
I havent heard of this poll. I wonder how good their model is. Still, I like the results
Uh huh.
Trump needs to mentioning how much money Hillary has spent and where all of that money came from. Work it like a business deal. How much has it cost with what results.
I would say he shouldn’t have responded to that ranting muslim lunatic whose son died, but at this point, nothing seems to hurt him and I’m done grabbing Mylanta every time he tweets :)
Looks like just some guy with a website. But the reminder that the acceleration of her decline began with the FBI is a good one. Not everything has been a surge after the RNC.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark. I’m an olympain worrier. Three golds. two silvers, one bronze.
Also wnated in four states for worrying. Three states for complaining. Two states for whining. One for being chronically negative.
It’s never helped me in 48 years, but it’s a hard habit to break!!
Trump!!!
We can win if we get out enough voters to counter the voter fraud and voting machine manipulation.
Trump needs to mentioning how much money Hillary has spent and where all of that money came from. Work it like a business deal. How much has it cost with what results.
Yes, he does. And he needs to start mentioning voter fraud and voting machine tampering.
Bro, I’ve been Tweeting, Facebooking ane emailing the volunteer above me, trump, Ivanka and ANYONE ELSE who will listen to get on it now!!!!
Form a commission to investigate how voting is done, how it’s counted, etc.
Is’t not too late to do that!!! Nov 9 is too late.
I’m calling True the Vote and I will stand outside the worse neighborhood in NY if necessary to make sure voting is done fairly.
WE CANT LOSE!
Hope youre doing well :)
He’s having to much fun to stop now. Plus, he’s actually pretty good at using it.
Besides, it’s fun watching the Democrats being sent into a panic 24 hours a day, with no Big Media filter to protect them!
UK Press reporting Hillary 6 pts ahead.
That isn't a good assumption.
But you can still laugh and that makes you my FRiend. ;)
Yup!!!..But the voter fraud has to be addressed BEFORE the election...not after!!!!
In the screening section for likely voters, the poll asked “Did you vote in the Presidential Election in 2016?”
Is this a trick question? Are they trying to see if you are paying attention to screen people who blindly click Yes to everything? Or does it mean the primaries? If the latter, how do you answer for those of us who live in states that have closed caucuses instead of primaries and are independents? Confusing.
