.....I don’t believe in convention bounces either.....

But there is a difference this time, Trump is an unknown quantity, who has been subjected to unrelenting press coverage as a freak of politics who people can not take seriously.
So many uncommitted people tuned in to see what all the commotion was about and if everything they had heard about Trump, from second hand sources, was actually true.
When they actually heard what he had to say from his own mouth, they realized he wasn’t this mad man from some far fringe, but a lot of what he said they agreed with.
So I do believe there was a significant bump for him, one that was not filtered by the press.

Convention Bounce: “Change in poll numbers after a week of the media demeaning the GOP and then a week of the media extolling the DNC.”

I think most people get their info on the conventions second-hand from the media. Though Trump does better than I’ve ever seen at getting around them.
