Via Survey USA News poll:
Two-thirds of those who watched Thursday night's speeches at the Republican National Convention already had decided who they would vote for before anyone opened their mouth, but among the small but important group of persuadable speech watchers, there is 2:1 movement towards Romney, according to a SurveyUSA poll of the state of Florida conducted for WFLA-TV in Tampa.
1,211 adults were interviewed statewide 08/31/12, after Romney, Florida's Marco Rubio and Clint Eastwood spoke to the convention 08/30/12. Of the adults, 1,100 were registered to vote in Florida. Of the registered voters, 754 heard the convention speeches. Of the convention speech watchers:
* 66% did not change their mind.
* 16% switched from "undecided" to Romney.
* 6% switched from Obama to Romney.
* Adding those 2 together, that's 22% who switched TO Romney.
* 10% switched from "undecided" to Obama.
* 2% switched from Romney to Obama.
* Adding those 2 together, that's 12% who switched TO Obama.
* Comparing the 2 aggregate numbers: 22% switched TO Romney, 12% switched TO Obama.
H/t Hot Air who points out some interesting findings on Clint Eastwood's speech, which liberals and many liberal media personalities massively criticized:
Here’s another data point, too: the split among Florida voters to Eastwood’s speech was 49% positive to only 24% negative by the next day — presumably even after the avalanche of criticism for it. The overall split is positive in almost all demos except Democrats (30/45) and liberals (26/58). Majorities of independents (51/26), seniors (54/20), men (54/24) approved of it, but the biggest positive response came from Hispanics, 62/21 — even better than Republicans (58/12). Even women (44/25) and black voters (43/37) liked Eastwood’s extemporaneous riff on President Obama.
Seems an overwhelming majority of speech watchers enjoyed Eastwood's performance, all but Democrats and Liberals, which was predictable.
There was one high profile far left liberal progressive who enjoyed Eastwood's speech..... Bill Maher.
