Who in the world ARE the people who are so easily swayed by a convention? Are there really people who are so brain-dead and wishy-washy that a glitzy show can convince them to change their views for a couple of days and then they revert to their previous views? The whole notion of a “bump” from these events seems ridiculous.

They must have some inside info showing a big slump and don’t want to be exposed for the shills they are when that slump comes out soon, so they’re tempering the decline with this news.

If these polls purport to be an accurate representation of the populace, that would mean hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people switched their opinion twice over a few day period.
I just don't buy it. These polls are rigged.

Alas, I think we all fear the affirmative on that question....
Absolutely. Americans are wowed by exactly that.
Anybody that basis there vote on a convention doesn’t deserve to vote.
