Nice! Now, what does it all mean? That undecideds have begun to become aware of some of the things Trump has said and done? That the word about the fact-checking on who's a liar and who's not is getting around?

One poll said that 68% of Bernie's backers were planning to vote for Hillary pre-convention, and 75% post-convention, and that's a lot, that's about a million votes nationwide, but that alone can't account for the upswing of support for Hillary.

A reaction to Trump of horror appears to be spreading, and that may possibly mean that more people are paying attention to politics. That would be very nice if it's true. I hope I'm not getting irresponsibly carried away by things like today's headlines when I say that maybe -- maybe -- people are paying closer attention to the point that they're figuring out that all of the awful things they've heard about Hillary are lies, so that her unfavorability numbers will drop. That may seem like a perfectly Pollyanna-sort of thing to hope for, but what with th dang Internet and all, things may be changing.
