So Conventions Can Produce Results After All

Apparently it is the message that makes the difference....

Republicans Increase Party Identification, Poll Shows

The number of Americans identifying themselves as Republicans increased from 26 percent before the Republican National Convention to 30 percent immediately afterwards, a Gallup poll released Thursday found.

Before the convention, 39 percent said they identified with or leaned to the GOP, and afterwards, that number jumped to 47 percent.

A short-term bump in party identification after the conventions is common – usually a four percent average - but this year Gallup found an eight-point increase in GOP identification and leaning is much like the Democrats’ high in 2000.

CNS News

I found the RNC to be stimulating this year, but I would being as conservative as I am, but it looks like I was not alone.

Heartening for sure

I have sent a U2U semperfortis informing him that he forgot to include the source link . Anyway I don't want to say to much without reading the full article other then that the key seems to be a short increase in support which takes place over what is now a medium distance race .

Cheers xpert11.
