Would anyone or everyone like to weigh in on what they think Trump's bounce will be? Will he go up five points? Ten? More? Will the bounce last longer or shorter than the half-life of francium?
And will the popular media devote any time at all to an analysis of the poll numbers after the Republican National Convention concludes?

If the Democrats can have a positive convention and talk about their plans to move the country forward, they should end up at least 5 points ahead, at least for the time being. Democrats don't need to be overconfident, though. Things can change on a dime these days.

It seems to be only a big hit with the FOX News Crowd. Ummm, I think he pretty much had them already.
