...as the first convention to leave respondents less likely to vote for the nominee. In other words, he was better off not having one. I also can't help but notice Hillarys returns, which show just how easy this election couldve been had Republicans not chosen a complete moron.
The trend had been toward less convention bounce for a while... but -15 on this metrics?? The military mother who was jeered at the Pence rally is being interviewed on t v right now. More negative news for tramp.
Here's the link the OP left out as source of that table in case you want to read the rest of the report -- http://www.gallup.com/poll/194084/americans-positive-democratic-gop-convention.aspx .
I think you're absolutely correct. One could say prior to the nomination of Trump knowing the Democrats were going to nominate Hillary, this election seemed in the bag for the GOP. Then somehow, the Republicans managed to nominate someone who was even more disliked than the baggage laden, bland, uninspiring Hillary Clinton. That seemed impossible a year ago, but the Republican Party managed to do the impossible. This is why I have said and posted on numerous occasions that the Republicans were interested in making a statement to their political leaders, elected officials and the so called establishment Republicans and not at all interested in winning in November. How else can it be explained? No one likes Clinton except her supporters. According to Gallup, 54% of all independents have a negative view of both Clinton and Trump, 24% of Republicans also have a negative view of both candidates, 20% of Democrats view both candidates negatively. That is a whole lot dislikes coming from people who really do not like both candidates. To break it down farther, 35% of all Americans have a favorable view of Hillary Clinton, but view Trump negatively. 28% of all Americans have a favorable view of Trump, but view Clinton negatively 25% of all Americans view both Trump and Clinton negatively. Check out this article by Gallup and look at both tables. We are having an election in which no one like either candidate except their avid supporters. Trump just happens to be disliked more than Clinton which probably means she will win in November as folks usually do not vote for someone they dislike. http://www.gallup.com/opinion/polli...utm_content=morelink&utm_campaign=syndication - - - Updated - - - I think you're absolutely correct.

They did something similar the last go'round. Health care seemed to be Obama's ticket out of the white house... and how do Republicans respond? Choose the guy who authored pretty much the same bill for his home state. True.
How true. The nomination of Romney took Obamacare off the table as a campaign issue. Although back in 2012, the Republicans had a pretty weak field. Not this year, it was a strong field and the dumb Republicans nominated the only candidate that constantly loss to Clinton in the head to head match ups. They totally ignored the other candidates that were constantly beating her. Oh well, they asked for a spanking in November. It looks like their wish is about to come true.
Well done, OP. That being said, I am leery of anything that Gallup publishes ever since it cooked the statistical books in 2012 and then ended up charged in court and then paid a multi-million dollar settlement. But when comparing this to older Gallup data, it is at least, uh, interesting.... and I am not surprised in the slightest to see that the Trump-Confab was a Trump-ConFlop.
