July 23, 2016By Taegan Goddard83 Comments
A new RABA Research poll finds that 37% of Americans considered the Republican National Convention a disaster, while just 24% called it a success.
Women voters called the convention a disaster instead of a success by a 3 to 1 margin.
Among young voters, a whopping 55% called the convention a disaster, as opposed to just 13% calling it a success.

(12,870 posts)If it was a "disaster" for the Trump campaign and his prospects for winning the presidency, then it will have a positive effect on this election.
If it turns out to be a real "disaster" for the Republican party, hurting its candidates across the board or prompting real reforms towards sanity and a responsible approach to government, all the better.
But, if what we saw last week sets a new standard for the kind of rhetoric that is acceptable and normal for a mainstream political party on prime time television, then it truly is a "disaster" for the great experiment in democracy and government of, by, and for the people.
