      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.

          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.
