Previous poll after the RNC had Clinton up by 5, so this is a significant bounce. However most other polls had Trump leading or at least tied last week, so probably a democrat-leaning bias to this pollster.
And I still don't know why people are obsessed with bounces if they just disappear in 2 weeks. Nevertheless she has gotten a nice bounce here which will undoubtedly propel her back into lead once again as we enter august.
Who is rabaresearch? I follow the polls, though it is not an obsession. Have never ever heard of raba. I don't doubt there will be a bounce for Sec Clinton, maybe a sizable one. But having never seen these folks before, and I look at real clear politics polls a couple of times a week, I doubt this is legit. Can't even find them in the rcp poll average. Hmmm.

The Huffington pollster is an aggregator. It takes the most recent polls and averages them, but doesn't go into the same level of detail than RCP and Nate Silver do. None of them conduct polls, and all of them aggregate all the polls that are taken from all sources.
Since parsing takes time, Huffington's averages are always faster than the others. I've been watching Pollster because of its speed.
Trump did get a bounce after the RNC convention. For a couple of days, he was 2 points ahead of Clinton last week, and during the DNC convention, was in a dead tie with Clinton. But the last two aggregations put Clinton up 1 point, then 2. The 3rd aggregation put her up to 5 in the lead, so her bounce was slower in coming, but now appears to be lasting longer than Trump's.
The Democratic convention must have achieved its intended purpose. It gave voters a brighter, more optimistic view than the dark savagery of the Republican convention, and must have caused lots of folks to think about which future they preferred.
Hope floats. Always has, always will. Trump led his party down a very dark and threatening alley where no hope exists. When a person is fearful, what does he turn to? Hope.

Huffington Post! LOL! Even if true, I don't see how Crooked Hillary can get any lasting "bounce." There was so much hatred for her at the convention. And they kept the Sanders supporters out later (according to a delegate who gave an account). This was so rigged!
Only Fox News covered the mega protest outside the convention. One anarchist set a flag on fire and caught his own clothes on fire in the process!! LOL
