      Swings in polls are notable, and there’s reason to believe Trump’s conviction hurt his approval among independents.

      Will this last? Idk. Hillary was up by 10-pts in October and crashed to a dead-heat on election day. But it should be worth considering what current events have a positive or negative impact on a candidate’s approval.

        We can thank the “trumpland” FBI for that swing. I know it’s a fan-fave to blame Hillary for that swing, but it’s not like she told the FBI to open an “investigation” into Buttery Males, and not mention that donnie was under investigation when making that big splashy announcement about Hillary…

        What does that information ultimately do for a citizen who is not in the field?

          Assuming you’re actively participating in GOTV, its useful to know what talking points engage people and what don’t.

          Assuming you’ve got some vested socio-economic interest in the winner of the next presidential race, it might inform personal financial or business decisions.
