Where are all the Democrat convention polls? The convention ended on Thursday (8/20). It's now Tuesday.
In 2016, the DNC convention ran from July 25 to July 28. After the convention, we had these national polls released:
- On July 29 (Fri), Reuters, covered July 25-29, Clinton +5
- On July 30 (Sat), PPP, covered July 29-30, Clinton +5
- On August 1 (Mon), YouGov, covered 7/30-8/1, Clinton +3
- On August 2 (Tue), NBC News, covered July 25-31, Clinton +8
- On August 2 (Tue), CNN, covered 7/29-31, Clinton +9
- On August 2 (Tue), Fox News, covered 7/31-8/2, Clinton +10
It is now the Tuesday after the Thursday close of the DNC convention, and there have been ONLY these three national polls published:
- On August 19 (Wed), Rasmussen, covered 8/12-18, Biden +4 (first two days of the convention)
- On August 19 (Wed), The Hill/Harris, covered 8/15-18, Biden +8 (first two days of the convention)
- On August 23 (Sun), CBS News/YouGov, covered 8/20-22, Biden +10 (last two days of the convention)
Four additional state polls were released, three in "safe" states:
- On August 24 (Mon), Trafalgar, covered Louisiana 8/13-17, Trump +16 (prior to the convention)
- On August 25 (Tue), PPP, covered New York 8/21-22, Biden +31
- On August 25 (Tue), PPP, covered Delaware 8/21-22, Biden +21
- On August 25 (Tue), PPP, covered Florida 8/21-22, Biden +4
So where are the post-Biden convention polls? There have been three national polls released that were taken during parts of the DNC convention and ZERO immediately after it, compared to six polls during the same period four years ago that covered all or after the convention.
What gives?

Hard to poll people on something no one watched.

I think a clue is Trump’s approval increasing to 51% AFTER the Democrat convention.

The purpose of public polls is to advance a political objective. Since almost all of the public polls are paid for by the media, they have no incentive to publish anything that hurts their side. So, what side are the media supporting?
To: Political Junkie Too
I saw one today with Trump +10 with Independents and this time in 2016 the polls were telling us that Hillary was +2 with Independents.

There was no bump so nothing to report for sake of saving face.

The news is bad, so they are ignoring it. Maybe opt to not poll in hopes that it will change. Consider that over the past 2-3 weeks leading up to the DNC, they quickly, without explanation, dropped their excess Biden lead results. Bet this was to allow No Bump instead of a He was ahead by 20%, Post convention tied.
My guess is that both Trump and Biden have 40-45% locked up by people that will vote by party. They might lose some on this (Biden is at greater risk because of move to kill 2nd amendment, etc.). It is the rest, that 10% of independents who are at stake. Biden and higher taxes, open borders, and burn, loot, and murder OR Trump and America First, law & order?
Do what they might, I have to think that Trump offers people more. Thus, polls that might confirm this, will be ignored, even untaken.

There’s been articles pointing out the there’s normally a post convention bump in support for a candidate but there was none for Biden. In fact, during the convention, Trump gained 4 points.

Yeah, but those weren't polls per se, they were the Rasmussen Presidential Tracking Poll.
President Trump's favorability rating jumped from 47 to 51, but it's now down to 49 (tied with Biden's).
