Three major polls have been conducted since Trump delivered his nomination acceptance speech at the Republican national convention last Thursday (and a fourth poll was conducted from 18 to 24 July, so it included some respondents who might have also heard the speech). All four polls found that Trump was leading over Clinton. Together, they were enough to shift the average in Trump’s favor.
Post-convention popularity bounces have occurred in previous election cycles, too – and they’re not always sustained. But this Trump bump could be different when you consider that Trump is no ordinary presidential nominee. The divisive candidate typically does better in online polling than in telephone polling. That gap suggests that some people who intend to vote for Trump are unwilling to say so when they’re being questioned by a human voice rather than a computer screen. It’s worth noting that in the lead-up to the British referendum about the European Union (another incredibly divisive political issue), online polls consistently got closer to predicting the eventual result than telephone ones did.
Three of the four latest polls that showed Trump ahead of Clinton were conducted via telephone. So, maybe the latest polling boost for Trump isn’t about increasing popularity but about emboldened supporters who now feel more comfortable expressing their voting intent to a stranger.
If that is the case, then maybe we haven’t reached peak Trump just yet.

So add in a few more pro-Hillary moderators and make it a fair fight:)
DT, Melania, and the kids must be watching this convention in the Tower, and laughing their heads off.
the hillarhoid and her sycophants need to cool it when they criticize Trump's line "crooked hillary".
Everyone knows hillary ain't straight.
Donald Trump = Warrior
If you go after the RAT’s latest standards, and the media of rigging the election against Bernie Sanders, you know the polls are rigged too, and Trump possible far ahead than shown !!!
