Hillary Clinton definitely got a huge boost from their successful convention. People might still not like her a lot, but having Barack, Michelle, Biden, and Bloomberg on your side vouching for you, it's going to help. Those are powerful figures who's opinions I trust. Things are not looking good for Trump. His path to victory comes down to having to win PA, FL, OH, VA. It's quite possible he loses all 4, let alone wins all 4.

Trump is maxed out at about 40-43%. Unless Johnson/Stein scoop up 15% of the vote, Hillary will win easily. I'm guessing 51-43. 6% goes between Johnson/Stein which is a pretty bold guess, considering how 3rd party candidates have done the past two decades.

I remember in 2012 the Ron Paul fanatics were seriously believing they would have a serious impact in the election. Didn't even get 1%. So if 99% of voters vote for either Trump or Hillary, it's going to be a laaaaaaaaandslide!!! Shouldn't have picked the one candidate that people dislike more than Hillary.
