With two polls released Monday showing Trump ahead of Clinton, attendees of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia shared their thoughts on Trump’s “post-convention bump.”
Last week’s Republican National Convention gave Donald Trump an edge over Hillary Clinton, according to a new CNN poll — and some Democratic delegates at the convention in Philadelphia said they are “terrified” and that the party needs to “do some serious thinking.”
In a two-way national matchup — conducted over telephone with over 1,000 random adults — Trump polled at 48% to Clinton’s 45%.
Another poll by Morning Consult released on Monday also showed Trump ahead of Clinton by 4%, calling it a “post-convention bump.” And a Los Angles Times/USA Today poll out Sunday also has Trump up 4%.
And an election forecast by FiveThirtyEight showed Trump with a 56.7% chance of winning to Clinton’s 43.3% if the election were held today.
“There’s a clear trend historically in polling that after your convention you always get a bump,” Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook told reporters at a briefing Monday morning.
“I would suspend any polling analysis until after our convention,” Mook said.
Texas delegate James-Michael Reed told BuzzFeed News that Democrats need to “do some serious thinking about how we’re going to play in the general.”(continued)

When they say “they need to do some serious thinking”, that doesn’t mean they will rethink one iota of their failing platform. No, it means they will try to think up some better propaganda to boost Hillary and trash Trump. I’d watch for some unverifiable innuendo scandals to pop up against Trump in the media soon.
I’m starting to think that the Democrats regret the fact that Al Gore ever invented the Internet in the first place
Terrifying
I hope it was a very sad day at BuzzFeed.
That hasn't held true since the end of the twentieth century. Hello, we are almost 25% finished with the TWENTY FIRST. What held true in the 1990's has not held true since about 2000. Until now...
Is it the 'historical' post-convention bounce, returned at last? Or, as is more apparent, with the conventions being decisively ATYPICAL, when compared to those 'historical' models, something else, altogether, something new, and undefined, as yet?

“Some Democratic Delegates Are “Terrified” After Trump Takes The Lead In Polls”
I can them one thing, they better get their reservations in right now for their post-election “safe spaces” before all the slots get filled up.
The best thing they could possibly do right now is go full throated left wing. Let the American people know who you really are, Democrats. Time to let the people know that you’re the only real alternative if America finally wants socialism.
Actually, we’re 16% finished with the 21st century.
Hillary's photo is about as good as they can make her look. Smiling, no wrinkles, air-brushed, the whole nine years.
Conversely the photo of Trump shows him to be outside in the glaring sun, squinting even more than usual. Nice attempt to try and conjure up some sort of evil looking man.

They will go even farther left, I bet.
It's like their best slugger, control of the media, has stuck out with the bases loaded with the game on the line.
So, not only are they behind, but they can no longer rely on their best player.
Better reserve your moving van to Canada now.
Unless they are not telling us something, Trump got a modest bump, as expected by most.
It is the extra millions (I forgot how many) of viewers that tuned to his RNC speech that is terrifying for Dems.
During debate time, it will show to normal viewers that Trump was not a monster, “Dangerous Donald”. (Besides reinforce the notion that Hillary is simply a terrible human being, or maybe her health won’t hold up.) That would be terrifying to them, too.
Read the comments from some of these people. They live in an alternate universe where Barack Obama protects them and Hillary Clinton is an honest person. The are scary to the max. Greedy and stupid is a dangerous combination and there is no shortage of either one at the Democrat convention in seems.
