Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are virtually tied in the polls as the Republican National Convention convenes in Cleveland this week. Clinton now just barely edges out Trump in a direct head-to-head match-up, 46 percent to 45 percent. This is slightly down from the 3-point lead she held in last week's tracking poll numbers.

She better get some kind of democratic convention bump or it's going to be a long election cycle for Hillary

Shhhhh polls only mean something if Clinton is in the lead.
If I recall correctly, McCain led Obama by a small margin and increased that to a double digit lead exiting the Republican convention in 2008 and Romney had similar numbers coming out of the Republican convention in 2012. If this is all Trump has at this point in time, after his VP nominee is announced, and while the convention is hogging the limelight, it's over. Trump is about to get slaughtered in the electoral college count.
Virtually any other Republican candidate, with the exception of Ted Cruz, would be leading the polls at this point by a significant margin. With all the negative media attention Clinton has received lately, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Chris Christie, would all be leading Clinton by a significant margin at this point in time. They may not have won it in November, but they'd be in it. Failing social media pics of Hillary in a burka wielding the severed head of Monica Lewinski, this election is over and another prime opportunity for Republicans to gain the White House has been pissed away.
We haven't even gotten to the debates yet. If you actually think that Clinton dropping like a stone is a good thing for her campaign you're insane.
The important poll is on election day.
That will be very close, reflecting a deeply divided America......just as in the last few elections.
I suspect Trump will win, barring a massive change somewhere.

IMHO, had the GOP chosen Kasich, he would have beaten Hillary in a landslide.

I have a mixed reaction to that comment.
On the one hand I too believe that most any Republican would show well against Hillary because she's such a horrible human being and because they'd be in a better position to nail her with details in debates since they're likely to actually know details. Trump ain't likely to know much about anything lower than a 20,000 foot detail level.
Trump however is more likely to eviscerate Hillary in a debate by saying something the other Republicans would be afraid to say. She's got to be prepared for whatever comes at her. And we know she can only be prepared with whatever someone wrote for her.
And it could be there are enough voters so pissed off that, all things considered, they'll vote his way.
So at this point I can't agree with your conclusion that she's a lock.
This is an unusual election year with unusual electorate expectations but with unusual candidates having unorthodox characteristics.
Same could be said for any of the other GOP candidates. Rubio would have destroyed her.
Trump gave her a fighting chance, which makes you wonder if they're not in cahoots.
Trump was a buffoon in the Republican debates - he's not going to win any points with his misogynistic and dismissive facial expressions in a Presidential debate. And you have a strange idea of what "dropping like a stone" means. Seems to me, even in this poll, that stone is still leading the cement head who will carry the Republican colours to the polls.
I always love how supporters of Trump revel in the fact that it doesn't matter what Trump does or says, people will still support him. Well, news flash, the same is true of supporters of Hillary Clinton and I'll be shocked if Independents will purposely go out to vote for a loose cannon like Trump.
It makes me nauseous to think that Hillary Clinton will be the next President. She isn't the slightest bit fit or deserving of that great position but the media and fools on the right have played into her hands and created about the only scenario whereby she will waltz into the White House.
Good afternoon Bubba
I don't disagree with a lot of your points above, but they don't damage my conclusion at least in my view. Hillary Clinton has been under attack, rightly, for the past two decades plus and nothing sticks. The media wants Clinton in the White House and they will do their damnedest to ensure that happens. It's hard to imagine anything that Trump could come up with in the debates that will damage Clinton that hasn't already been beaten like a dead horse the past four years. Is it possible, sure - she's scum so anything's possible. But Trump's negatives are far worse than Clinton's, unbelievably, and the surface hasn't even been scratched yet into the shady life's work of Trump. I can almost guarantee that Clinton will be the one eviscerating Trump in the debates and her surrogates, both in the campaign and in the media, are poised to tear him apart.
It's not going to be pretty - I see Clinton getting well over 300 electoral college votes by the time the counting's done. My only hope at this point is that Trump doesn't piss away the Republican's control of the Senate in the process.

Double digit lead? According to RCP, Romney never even managed a single digit lead the entire election cycle. Can't get the McCain figures to load on my phone.If I recall correctly, McCain led Obama by a small margin and increased that to a double digit lead exiting the Republican convention in 2008 and Romney had similar numbers coming out of the Republican convention in 2012.
