No convention bump for Trump in national tracking poll

Posted by | July 26, 2016 10:48 | Filed under: Politics


Although one poll showed Trump with a bump when four candidates were included, the latest poll shows no such bump.

The NBC News/Survey Monkey weekly tracking poll released Tuesday morning found that Donald Trump did not see a post-convention bounce in support.

Hillary Clinton maintained her one point lead over Trump, leading him 46-45.
However, when third party candidates were added to the question, Trump led Clinton by two points, up one point form last week’s poll. It was Trump 41, Clinton 39, Libertarian Gary Johnson 10, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein 5.

Trump has seen mixed polling results following the Republican convention in Cleveland. A CNN/ORC national poll released Monday found Trump gaining six points since before the convention and earning a 48-45 lead over Clinton. And in a CBS News poll released Monday, Trump led Clinton by one point.

    The only kind of pole that means anything is the one you run a U.S. up.

    Polls mean nothing. The only thing that matters is Trump’s defeat in November!!

    The only bounce I want to hear about is him being bounced out on his a$$ from anywhere near our White House.

    I don’t think Dems are gonna see a significant bump either…the majority of voters have settled in one camp or another, and seeing how those camps are on different ends of the spectrum, I don’t see any movement there.
    The fight is for the 7-8% who haven’t weighed in yet…
    Note to Mea Mark….
    I agree that the Libertarian’s have never done better than 1%, but I’m getting the feeling this could be like a mini Ross Perot thing…5-6% right and left, could go that way…JMO…

      The Libertarians and Greens are going to do noticeably better this year. More than a few of the disaffected will end up there.
      More than a few RINO’s are going libertarian or staying home, how many Bernie supporters will vote Green Party, or not vote?
      Both Perot and Nader swung elections, Nader with 35 in Florida.
      And the electorate is a lot madder this time.

    Republican Convention Falls Short of TV Ratings Expectations

    CLEVELAND — Television is Donald J. Trump’s comfort zone, the medium where he ruled as master of “The Apprentice,” lured record audiences to Republican primary debates, and deftly outmaneuvered opponents with his camera-ready skills.

    For politicos and producers alike, the Republican National Convention here this week was widely anticipated as a ratings bonanza.

    It did not live up to the hype.

      I turned it off, I felt brain cells escaping and if I am losing any more of those, it will be due to something making me feel good and not by watching something that makes me feel stupid.

    Yep..the Bizarro Zone…That bump you heard was someone getting run down by the republicans…

      Hmmm, what is that big truck making up for?

      • Buford2k11 July 26th, 2016 at 21:08

        It’s not a gun?

        • Suzanne McFly July 26th, 2016 at 21:30

          I bet there is a gun rack in there.

          • Buford2k11 July 26th, 2016 at 21:32

            Even my truck has a gun rack….

              But you don’t have it to prove your manhood.

              My gun rack ran away with my dog and my truck…
