 Why Trump and Clinton might not get a convention bounce

Divisions, controversy, and highly negative feelings toward the two candidates could erase the traditional post-convention bump in the polls.

By Steven Shepard

CLEVELAND — Donald Trump's convention is over. But don't count on a convention bounce.

The sizable polling bump that typically follows four days of saturation media coverage probably isn't coming.

Hillary Clinton is also unlikely to receive much of a bounce after Democrats' gather next week in Philadelphia. The reason? Trump and Clinton are two of the most unpopular presidential nominees in recent electoral history, and voters' mostly negative feelings about both of them are well-formed. That lends a level of stability to the race and means neither candidate is likely to bound out of the next two weeks with additional momentum, according to pollsters.

Then there's the issue of party unity. Many top Republican officials still haven’t rallied to Trump’s side, and one, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, snubbed the nominee in his nationally televised speech Wednesday night. Combine that with a series of other unforced errors, like Melania Trump's plagarized speech on Monday night.

All that division and controversy could undermine the chances of a Trump bump.

True. They may get a small bump that will be short lived. The fact remains they both are the two most disliked candidates we have ever been graced with.

I wonder sometimes if you really are a troll or if you believe half of what you post? If you're a troll, you're a good one. If not, well........

You post polls all the time that have good news for Trump. I've asked you several questions in the past regarding polls that you still refuse to answer

Polls are always fake when Trump supporters don't like the results.

Remember the good old days when the polls were fake with Romney and Obama? Limbaugh even reassured us a Romney landslide, despite the polls, was in the making :silly:

But I'm sure this time is different, right?

In defense of Limbaugh, he said, "ignore the polls and vote."  He didn't exactly say they were wrong.

But polls are just an attempt to make a statistical representation of reality.  Sometimes they are flat out wrong.  Sometime they are biased.  Sometimes they are correct.  But pretending that the reality displayed by the polls collectively doesn't exist, is harmful to the campaign and it's ability to make intelligent decisions.

I guess we'll never know about Trump's bounce, since no polling has occurred to measure post-RNC support.  Of course, the alphabet "media" will be polling their asses off the nanosecond Hillary completes her acceptance speech.
