This also shows the problem with Morning Consult putting out 1 day polls. Never a good idea. If Trump was up on 6 on Friday, he must've fallen back to -8 or -9 for most of the other days.

The figures, which are nearly identical to polling conducted Aug. 14-16, come after daily tracking of the head-to-head contest showed a narrow improvement in Trump’s standing against Biden by Friday. That post-convention bump proved to be fleeting, with daily tracking on Saturday showing Trump trailing Biden 43 percent to 51 percent and Sunday’s responses putting Biden back to a 9-point lead and 52 percent of the vote. The Saturday and Sunday polling came with respective 2- and 1-point margins of error.

Similarly, movement away from Biden and toward Trump that was detected on Friday among white voters and suburbanites was short-lived, with the three-day survey showing no significant national shifts among those groups.

So Friday was a blip.

What's most interesting is that despite the RNC, Biden's favorability is the best it's ever been in MC polling (+5) while Trump's (-12) is basically flat to where it's been for a while.
