Two unrated pollsters released surveys as well. Opinium has Biden leading by 13 points, and Qriously has Biden ahead by 5%.
The aftermath of the conventions basically showed that Biden had a bump of 0 to 1% but improved has favorable ratings by about 5%. Trump’s convention produced a 2% bump but little or no improvement in his favorable ratings.
Convention bounces almost always fade after a week. So to whatever extent these polls are measuring some improvement for Trump because of his convention, it will likely be gone next week.
Improved favorable ratings for Biden may improve Democratic turnout.
