The CNN poll, in fact, shows 45 percent of those who voted in Democratic primaries still say they wish it was the Vermont senator.
CBS News shows a much tighter race.
These bumps in the poll numbers are generally modest-usually no more than a couple points-but Donald Trump’s post-convention bump this week has pundits wondering if there’s something bigger happening.
Trump fell back in the poll as he feuded with party bosses over comments he made about Hispanics, Muslims and immigrants, but he rebounded this month as his candidacy took the national spotlight at the Cleveland convention.
Trump also saw improvements in those saying he was in touch with America’s problems (gaining nine points) and being someone people would be proud to have as president (gaining seven).
That gives most of the influence to a handful of swing states, such as OH and Pennsylvania – which, not coincidentally, are the sites of the Republican and Democratic national conventions.
“It’s not Trump’s convention bounce per se that should worry Dems”.
And a week after stressing how humble he is, Donald Trump released a new online video over the weekend on the amount of applause his convention speech received last week – which might, just might, reinforce concerns about his over-the-top narcissism. Only 34 percent of men over 65 said they will vote for Clinton. Active-duty service members favor Trump, according to a recent Military Times poll.
Before the political conventions began, the youngest women were most likely to support Clinton and least likely to support Trump, echoing Morning Consult’s earlier analysis showing that younger voters generally are more inclined toward Clinton. Sixty-nine percent say he is more qualified to be president, but 10 percent say Clinton is more qualified.
The Democratic National Convention gavels in Monday night and wraps up Thursday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
For Clinton, 52 percent says she’s prepared for the presidency, 29 percent say she is honest, 50 percent say she has the right temperament and personality to be president and 52 percent see her as a strong leader.
