You have to wonder what Hillary will get from the DNC convention? I would hope she could get more then a 6 point bounce like Trump did! I know conventions do not weigh out in the end, so we need to push forward and vote our conscience and prevent a disaster(Trump) to enter the White House!

Most every poll tends to oversample white voters. Demographics don't match the numbers we're seeing.

Polls are always keyed to the demographic data from the prior presidential election.

This also serves to explain how Obama was able to outperform the polls twice.

Gonna guess the demographics may not represent the potential electorate in November. If there are not using cell phones, then the sample may not reflect reality.
