Through Sunday, the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times “Daybreak” tracking poll of the race shows Trump gaining about three percentage points in the aftermath of the convention. He gained as the “undecided” voters shrank from 20 percent pre-convention to 16 percent post-convention. “I have a message to every last person threatening the peace on our streets and the safety of our police: When I take the oath of office next year, I will restore law and order in our country”.

“The problems we face now – poverty and violence at home, war and destruction overseas – will last only as long as we continue relying on the same politicians who created them”, Trump said. Half of those defecting say they plan to vote for Trump and half say they plan to vote for neither.
The poll also indicates that the convention deepened the educational divide among white voters. He now holds double-digit margins over Clinton as more trusted on the economy and terrorism. After the nominations were secured, New jersey Governor Chris Christie incited the crowd saying that Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton needs to go behind bars by “stating the facts” of all the destruction and lies she has created. Trump is considered to be honest and trustworthy based on the opinion of 43 percent of people, while last week the figure was at 39 percent. And almost half now say he’s in touch with the problems ordinary Americans face in their daily lives (46% say so, 37% did before the convention). “If any of us had done what she did”, he said, his voice trailing off.
While avoiding any direct mention of Trump’s name, Clinton slammed many of his recent statements about the military and global affairs, vowing to stand by longtime allies, fight repressive regimes and carefully weigh the advice of military officials.
He is now ahead of Clinton by 3 points, 48 percent to 45 percent, according to a CNN/ORC poll. “What’s on my mind is winning for the Republican Party”.
At a direct swipe against the Democrats, Trump said that America has to stop being politically correct.
“It was just an angry mob”, Mook told reporters at a Bloomberg Politics breakfast in Philadelphia.
If we do this, Trump said of becoming president, “We will make American better than ever before”. “Many have died waiting for care that never came, a permanent stain on our government”, Mr. Trump said. Another 20 per cent think they need more information.
If the U.S. presidential elections were held this week, Donald Trump would win, according to research published ahead of the Democratic National Convention. And, on Wednesday, Ted Cruz, the man who had the loyalty of so many delegates here, exited the stage amid a rain of boos, as he defiantly refused to bow to the man who had defeated him.

Cruz’s move, however, appears to have backfired. Makes me wonder if Russian Federation was able to hack into the DNC computers and stay there for about one year – how long were they able to hack into and remain in that server in Hillary’s basement? At a press availability during an event to thank campaign volunteers Friday morning, Trump revived suggestions that the elder Cruz was an associate of Lee Harvey Oswald, Kennedy’s assassin, and that they two were together months before the assassination. And she could talk about the way religious values should inform our public life – a task that the Republican Party has largely abandoned.
