Nate Silver: Weak Republican Convention Boost is a "Bad Sign" for Trump

Earlier this week, I wrote that “it would be a bad sign for Trump if he can’t at least tie Clinton in polls conducted in between the RNC and the DNC.” Our now-cast, which is very aggressive and addresses the question of what would happen in a hypothetical election held today, shows Clinton up by about 1 percentage point, so Trump has almost brought the race to a tie, but not quite.

A 10 point lead coming out of next week would be about right. Really, the opportunity to establish a decisive contrast is laid at the DNC doorstep on a platter.
