With Dem and Rep conventions back to back any bounces would last only a few days. Better to wait until the dust settles about a week from Thursday. It costs money to poll. Why waste it on a poll now when you know it will change in a week?

You must have missed the all caps headlines here on DU.

The best poll was a CBS/YouGov poll showing Biden 52/Trump 42.

It's been 73% for several days, today it moved up to 74%. So there has been a little improvement.
