So, Trump was able get a good bounce from the GOP convention?

You have to wonder what Hillary will get from the DNC convention? I would hope she could get more then a 6 point bounce like Trump did! I know conventions do not weigh out in the end, so we need to push forward and vote our conscience and prevent a disaster(Trump) to enter the White House!

Most every poll tends to oversample white voters. Demographics don't match the numbers we're seeing. CrowCityDem Jul 2016 #3

If so, why do most polls predict an increase in white turnout? The minority population has grown. CrowCityDem Jul 2016 #5

This also serves to explain how Obama was able to outperform the polls twice.
