EXCERPT:
LUNTZ: "So, it’s always dangerous to do something right in the middle of a convention and it’s particularly dangerous to talk about polling before the debate because so much can change. And we’ve had half of the elections, going back to 1968, one-half of them have seen a change of 10 points or more between the candidate who is leading on Labor Day and what happens on Election Day. So I say to people, take them with a grain of salt. Take a look at the movement, at the change between surveys over a week, ten days, two weeks, and then trend for Donald Trump has actually been favorable, it's been positive over the last three, four weeks. Now, I’m going to say something that’s going to bother you, it may bother some of your viewers. I still believe that if the election were held right now or held today, Joe Biden would win. But we’ve got the Republican Convention coming up, we’ve got the debates coming up, and the trend is definitely, over the past couple of weeks, in Donald Trump’s favor."
