I wonder if pollsters are going to switch to Likely Voter polls early this cycle since the conventions were early?

Looking back at 2012, some of the networks made the switch around convention time in August.

RCP is still mostly registered voter polls.

So far the DNC has been so much better than the RNC Trump's only hope is for Hilldawg to blow it...

I bet he's sacrificing some Polish labourers to Moloch right now.

Pretty sure if Trump made a deal with the devil for his soul the check would bounce.

How loving stupid do you have to be to blindly follow this "BELIEVE ME" super secret plans nonsense.

This is actually worse than his typical response of "Thing? Thing! We'll have the best thing. Believe me."

Tim Kaine did his job well. I can't hear this in Donald Trump's voice anymore, just Kaine's dork dad supreme impression of it.

They are just contrarians at this point. Everyone has Trump ahead? We will put him behind. Hillary up by 10? Not to us - Trump is actually leading by 5.

It was a good response for his campaign, especially because a lot of his target audience didn't watch the speech. There are a lot of people who are suffering, a lot of white lower class folk are looking for someone who claims to be out for them and Trump's adapting the populist message is a smart move.

Remember how they were talking about Trump working to echo Nixon's speeches in 1968 for the RNC? Nixon also had "a secret plan" to end the war in Vietnam. True story.

I was thinking that it would be smart for a DNC speaker to actively say that they were talking to poor whites left behind by the decline in American blue-collar jobs but I realized the optics of them saying "This is for all you poor whites" is loving awful so the best they can do is talk in general terms about people left behind by the system and hope the message gets through.
