Aren't these swings typical post-convention?
Trump is now up in the last 5 polls....but what about that "dark" acceptance speech that was going to turn everybody away from him?

Yes and No. Typically, each candidate gets about a 2%+/- boost post convention. Trump's boost exceeds that and came, not immediately (within hours) after the RNC while the feel good from the glad handing still warms the heart of the electorate, but DURING and BECAUSE OF the Dems clownshow of a convention and of the Democratic National Committee and perfidy of Wasserman, Clinton, et. al.
The polling is all over the lot. According to CNN, there was a significant bounce for Trump but according to NBC, basically none at all. All that really matters at this point is state to state anyway and even to that extent it's still the same 3 which will decide the outcome (Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida).

You guys are getting carried away with these daily polls... The Economist has Clinton with a 5 point lead which is just as meaningless as the LA Times poll you are thumping your chests over. This election will be decided in 3 (possibly 4 states)....It hinges on Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida - which has been the case since 2000.
