CNN Instant Poll of Speech Watchers

[Seriously?]

Just announced.

% believing Trump will move the country in the right direction: 60% before the speech, 73% after the speech.

Reaction: 75% Positive, 24% Negative

More than half say they are more likely to vote for Trump after watching the speech.

Did they do a partisan breakdown? You'd think the audience would skew Republican for starters.

Luntz's focus group had about 6 of the 20 or so "undecided" move toward Trump. None moved toward Hilliary! The vast majority remained undecided. The rest would vote for someone else.

[Seriously?]

It was undecided Republicans, and even then 25% didn't view the speech favorably. That seems to be around the same level of non-support he is getting from Republicans in most polls.

No. It was speechwatchers of all political stripes.  Of course, for the RNC, this is going to skew Republican.  You'll have a pro-Democrat sample for the DNC.

That's a serious f***ing skew.

Of course there's going to be a skew to the right. I won't be watching a minute of the DNC sh**t show next week. I assume most Democrats (not on this forum), have limited interest in the RNC as well.

[Seriously?]

I fully expect to see this forum go crazy, though.

That's a prediction those on both sides of the aisle can agree with....

In a micro scale, it will be a mass freakout.
In a macro scale, it's just the fluidity of what a normal Presidential campaign looks like historically.

But nevertheless, the Atlas freakout will be YUUUUGE!
