I think I am not as worried anymore. Don't be too gleeful, Trumpsters.

Bob Dole got a big bounce after the Republican convention, but quickly fizzled. However, Al Gore's 2000 bounce endured for weeks. Prior to the Democratic convention, Gore was behind Texas Gov. George W. Bush by as many as 16 points,[4] but was in a statistical tie with the Republican the weekend after his acceptance speech.[5][4] To the bafflement of political pundits, Democratic candidate John Kerry did not get a convention bounce in 2004,[6] despite the unpopularity of incumbent George W. Bush.

Polls indicated a small bounce for 2008 Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama after his party's convention in August,[7] but as expected, much of it evaporated during and after the Republican convention the week following, yielding GOP candidate John McCain a small lead in several polls.[8][9] Nielsen ratings revealed that year's party conventions to be the most-watched ever, with the Republican convention narrowly trumping the Democrats'.[10]
