Trump Poll Bounce Rattles Experts

...Donald Trump comes out of his convention ahead of Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House, topping her 44% to 39% in a four-way matchup including Gary Johnson (9%) and Jill Stein (3%) and by three points in a two-way head-to-head, 48% to 45%. ...

There hasn't been a significant post-convention bounce in CNN's polling since 2000. That year Al Gore and George W. Bush both boosted their numbers by an identical 8 points post-convention before ultimately battling all the way to" the Florida recount, the aftermath, and Supreme Court decision. There haven't been convention bounces.

Obama didn't get one in 2008. Bush didn't get one in 2004. Nobody got one in 2004, 2008, or 2012. So this is the first convention bounce in the CNN poll -- Trump got it -- since 2000. That's CNN, and this... Believe me. Don't doubt me on this. Despite the smiling and attempts at everything's okay and all is normal that you're seeing from Democrats this week, they're worried. They are panicked. Because Trump was supposed to be nowhere near Hillary. Trump was not supposed to be close, much less leading.

That’s one of the yuge things I like about Trump. In any competition if you have your opponent reeling, you keep pounding away until there is nothing left but a bloody mass on the ground.

Once you sense you have the upper hand, you keep obliterating the opponent until there is nothing left. Trump now has the upper hand. He will smash Hillary to the point that she will never rise again ever.

If Trump could chip at Johnson’s 9% and former Sander’s supporters it will be a landslide

Do not assume that Johnson's LP support is taken away from Trump. The LP platform of today appeals to the Liberals more than Nationalist minded Republicans.
