POLL: Did RNC, DNC Conventions Influence Your Vote At All?
The busiest two weeks in politics are over. Do you feel any differently?

Between Clint Eastwood's imaginary Obama chair and Bill Clinton's speech about arithmetic, this year's Republican and Democratic National Conventions were chock-full of buzzworthy moments and instant Internet meme-generators. We think the presidential candidates themselves might have spoken too—we're not really sure.Â
Now that the conventions are done for another four years, we sort of have to wonder: Do they even matter at all? At this stage in the election cycle, do the conventions still possess the possibility of changing your opinion on a candidate or are they now just more about grandstanding to the established base?
We're curious and would love to hear what our readers in think. Did the conventions manage to sway your vote even an inch? Or is there a gray territory at play here the poll isn't getting at?
