STUNNING – The new USC Dornsife/LA Times poll shows Donald Trump gaining during the Democratic National Convention.

Trump is now up almost seven and a half points in the daily tracking poll.  It's 47.4 to 40.1.

This is the exact opposite from what you'd expect.  While it's only one poll, the trend is clear:  Trump is gaining as Americans watch the "inclusive" circus from Philadelphia, and a lot of people don't feel included.  The convention makes it plain that there are in-groups and out-groups, and most Americans are in the out-groups.

It's also being reported that Fox News ratings are down for the Democratic National Convention.  That's understandable.  The Fox News audience tends toward the conservative, and a goodly number have little interest in watching the Obama Hit Parade.

We'll be seeing other polls shortly.  Don't be shocked if some show Hillary getting a small bounce from her convention, but I don't think it will be more than that.
