[AgadorSparticus]

1. Hot damn!

[WheelWalker]

2. She owns the finish line.

[Chicago1980]

20. No complacency.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people.

[WheelWalker]

27. Agreed. No complacency. Competency. Organization. Preparation.

Win the Day.

[lunasun]

29. Or unpredictable events that sway them

[busterbrown]

34. Exactly...Please stay frightened..

but determined to the end..

[saykay]

40. Not Necessarily

Not when you consider that most people that watched were Dems anyway. Therefore, most pollers were most definitely Dems too. Great numbers though.

[John Poet]

3. Those ARE GREAT Numbers!!!

I'd call that a HOME RUN. Shit, I'd call that OUT OF THE PARK!

[NYC Liberal]

4. Before I get excited..online poll or real poll?

If it's an actual poll then holy wowzer I think she's in for a huge bounce.

[John Poet]

7. Well, remember, the "online poll voting champions"

were the anti-Hillary Bernie forces--- Hillary NEVER did well in those---

so if Hillary's getting numbers like these, even in an "online poll"--
I don't know how you can consider it anything but GREAT!

An offline poll will be more reliable, of course, when we can get one...

[pnwmom]

11. This is just a poll of convention watchers, so heavily Democratic. On the other hand,

Hillary did much better in this poll than the Don did in his comparable poll last week. For example, 57% of the people who watched the GOP convention gave him a very positive rating, as opposed to 71% for Hillary.

[MoonRiver]

54. Yes, that is the bottom line.

These are great poll results!

[Chakab]

13. Either they're credible or they're not. You can't shit on them when Bernie

did well in them and then turn around use them to pump Hillary up.

[John Poet]

18. I was a Bernie supporter, I'm not shitting on his online poll results--

however, it was true that we ROUTINELY managed to get blowouts in many of those, because so many of his supporters were the more-active people online. Hillary never did very well in them.

So the favorable results in this one are the more striking to me, because it's really the first one in which I've seen her do well. NOT just 'well', but outstanding-- I wouldn't have expected those kind of numbers with Obama as the speaker.

[pnwmom]

56. That's an interesting point, John Poet. I wonder how Trump has done in online polls

compared to telephone polls.

[JI7]

24. it's a poll of mostly democrats , so it's good in terms of an effective GOTV

[Bradical79]

46. Online poll

Could be a good sign for Democratic voter enthusiasm and "likability" though.

[calimary]

65. EVERY convention gets a bounce of some sort.

But I agree with you NYC Liberal. Judging from this, as well as the favorable comparisons and terrific reviews across the board, the Dems' convention bounce is likely to be substantial! I expect it to be very corrective of last week. Trump got what I've seen described as a moderate bounce. The Dems' bounce will likely wipe that out completely.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. I'm not one little bit surprised at these results.

She spoke well.

She spoke to the issues.

She skewered Trump.


Now, let's see her carry these plans forward!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

6. Compare that with Donald Drumpf

https://twitter.com/DaveCullen/status/758885636652666883

[Stallion]

8. Far Better than I Could Have Hoped For

I've been all in for Clinton since 2008 but this isn't her strength. After having to follow A+ speeches by Michelle, Bill and Obama its hard to match that energy. I really don't care-I'm voting for her because of her competence and political positions not the superficial

[Wounded Bear]

49. Good points...

but 'showmanship' is just about all Trump has. He knows how to capture and dominate cameras. I just hope we can finally prove to him that there is such a thing as bad publicity.

Frankly, I don't personally have a problem with a 'policy wonk' in the White House. Those are the folks that figure out answers and get things done, something that Hillary has been doing for a lot of years.

[The Second Stone]

9. Now it's our job to register voters in swing states and get the vote out

Yes, we shall.

[ffr]

26. +100

Get one more voter to come out and challenge others to do so. That's the start. Then see how many more you can get excited.

THIS COULD BE BIG!

[busterbrown]

35. Already working on that.

Have a lot of Mexican friends in California all nationalized..

Have been working like mad to get them to contact friends and relatives in swing states..
Explained Cali is good to go for the most part except on state issues. but i implored them to contact friends and relatives in Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico etc in order to spread the word on how we must stop drump

[ffr]

38. .

You're a rock star!!!

[Haveadream]

10. Thank you, Hillary!

[4lbs]

12. Moderate to Conservative CNN came in with those numbers?!?!?

Wow!

[hurple]

14. I think...

She just won the election tonight.

[ffr]

22. Feels like it could be a reality

How much of an ass whooping, will be up to the voters and how many we can encourage to participate in their own future.

[smirkymonkey]

69. I must admit, I am much more hopeful that I have been

all throughout this election. I feel re-energized!

[SunSeeker]

15. Wow. And the CNN talking heads were saying her speech was "too liberal" and "workmanlike."

They complained that her speech was prose rather than poetry, since she spent so much time talking about her plans (how she will achieve her progressive vision for our country). Idiots. Did it ever occur to them that people want to hear plans?

[Ellen Forradalom]

17. They're as annoying as Olympic commentators

Shut up and let me watch the skater

[NYC Liberal]

25. And if she'd gone for poetry they'd have attacked her for giving

a "pretty speech with no substance"

[SunSeeker]

31. The press will attack her no matter what she does, so she's just going to be herself.

That acceptance speech was classic Hillary. Smart, classy, caring and thoroughly prepared.

[BlueMTexpat]

36. That's why she is such an excellent candidate

and will make an excellent President!

[carburyme]

48. Well prepared is effin right!

I'm more impressed with the delivery although the content is goddamn outstanding! I would like to know who the speechwriter was last night's acceptance speech.

[AllyCat]

44. Wonder what they said about tRump?

He had no plans OR poetry.

[BlueStreak]

60. Aren't "Too liberal" and "Wormanlike" mutually exclusive?

If it was "too liberal", I don't see how it could be "workmanlike". It it was "too liberal", then they must have thought it was hitting some points rather hard.

As usual, what passes for "liberal" is still to the right of the transitional center of our spectrum. I think Hillary made it as liberal as she could stand in order to appease the Sanders supporters. We will probably see her do the usual "Clinton triangulation" to the right, which would be a YUGE mistake, considering who she is running against. The positions she laid out are not at all liberal -- they are right down the center of Middle Class America today.

[wordpix]

64. CNN is careful to have both sides represented so

I'm shocked that the R's didn't like her speech.

[fleabiscuit]

16. See anything about tonights viewing ratings?

It drives the talking yam nuts when he gets beat.

[mountain grammy]

19. Stick a fork in him, he's done..

I'm with her..let's get it done and take the Congress too.

[ffr]

21. Now to get them all to share in their stake of America and vote.

now and in the 2018 mid-terms, which will be even more critical for redistricting.

[Firebrand Gary]

23. Yaaaaaaaaasssssssss!

[workinclasszero]

28. BOOM!

Hil did great!!!!

[fishwax]

30. those are good numbers, for sure

Trump's very positives were lower (57) and his negatives were higher (24). (As I understand it, these polls survey people who have been contacted and identified beforehand, so they tend to skew positive, rather than being a random sample of people who watched the speech. Still, the fact that her numbers are *that* high is certainly a good thing.)

[TeamPooka]

32. Now let's GOTV! nt

[unitedwethrive]

33. It was even better than that!

You know many repubs voted without even hearing the speech!

[awoke_in_2003]

37. She dId well

But that is to be expected. She has her stuff together.

[clutterbox1830]

39. DNC Doubles RNC In Voter Registration Searches

“There is a really interesting spike last night, which is not the thing we were expecting to see. We saw a 190 percent spike in surge interest in voter registration, which is actually the highest point since the end of the primaries.”

The Democratic convention is generating twice as many searches for voter registration information as the Republican convention, Rogers says.

[AllyCat]

41. Good news!

[George II]

42. Keep in mind, that's among those who watched the speech. Remember, republicans...

...probably didn't watch it, just as most of us didn't watch much of the republican convention or Trump's speech.

[retrowire]

43. well it is CNN but those are nice numbers. nt

[Fla Dem]

45. Fantastic! Do you have a link for these numbers?

[bucolic_frolic]

47. She's smokin' hot

One could not ask for better numbers

The DNC on balance was a parade of political superstars with
interlocking messages and like Obama's speech carried a tone
of proud defiance, moral progress, and resolve.

This is not the party of 1988-2004 which at times was timid, fearful,
downtrodden, while accomodating at other times

We are ready for battle

BRING IT ON

[TryLogic]

50. My advice for Democrats: Label Trump as the Loose Cannon

Trump will continue to characterize Hillary as Crooked Hillary. Crooked Hillary versus the Bully or the Mean Guy is unlikely to be helpful for Hillary. But, in my opinion, Crooked Hillary versus the Loose Cannon tilts the contest toward Hillary. Crooked can be debated, but every time Trump opens his mouth, most of his history, everything validates the label of Loose Cannon. And, a Loose Cannon is someone who is scary and dangerous.

51. I sure hope the headlines next week say mega bounce

These numbers are a good sign.

[MadDAsHell]

52. "Right/wrong direction" is interesting as a majority say we're in the wrong direction right now.

Last edited Fri Jul 29, 2016, 01:35 PM - Edit history (1)

So is this saying that a majority of voters think President Obama has taken us the wrong direction, and President Clinton will take us the right direction?

That doesn't seem to jive with President Obama's higher approval #'s.

[Old Terp]

59. Might be Congress instead

"Congressional disapproval "and "wrong direction" are in much closer agreement than "Obama approval"

[MoonRiver]

53. Those are incredible numbers!

[rivegauche]

55. This relieves me more than I can say.

Is it too early to think we're on the way to a return of sanity?

[MariaThinks]

57. kick

[mcar]

58. Great finish to a great convention!

[NoMoreRepugs]

61. there's simply no comparison whatsoever btwn the parties

one cannot equate/compare positive to negative hope to fear

compassion to hate

sorry pollsters- you simply can't do it

[wordpix]

62. Yeah baby! I'm with HER!

[bucolic_frolic]

66. Hillary is more precise than Obama or Bill Clinton

in the way she speaks, she ties off every loose end and what could be
misinterpreted language.

She left no ambiguities. That is an incredible asset.

What I mean is:

If you say "the Republicans" did this or that and then list 10 things,
you have to repeat "the Republicans" 10 times to drill it into people's minds
and so the press won't misquote or selectively quote.

Obama and Bill often did not follow that discipline.

[denbot]

67. I don't recall one of these evey being 60% "likely affect your vote".

This should be a very positive sign.

[anneboleyn]

68. Wow, that is amazing! Incredibly good numbers.

[Bigredhunk]

70. Yup

Giddeyup!

[ericson00]

71. I predict a 10 point lead by Monday nationally

and HRC leading in at least 25 states. She and the DNC hit it out of the park.

[pscot]

72. a link would have been nice

[woolldog]

74. The OP was posted about a minute after the numbers aired on CNN last night.

There was no link.

I suppose I could have taken a pic on my phone and posted it on here, but the OP will have to do.

[Warren DeMontague]

73. Kick and Rec

It was a good week.
