Trump got a decent bounce after a convention that was heavily criticized by the media and Atlas. I see two possibilities:
1: The media and Atlas badly misread how the public perceived the convention. Maybe the public doesn't care about plagiarism or former candidates getting booed off stage - or maybe most people just weren't paying attention to anything but Trump's speech.
2: The content of a convention doesn't really matter now that polarization is as strong as it is. A great RNC would have led to the same bounce as a terrible RNC. If this is true, Hillary should get a small bounce after the DNC regardless of what happens.
