A new Gallup poll finds more Americans are less likely to vote for Donald Trump as a result of the Republican convention, 51% to 36%.
“Gallup has asked this question about Democratic and Republican national conventions since 1984…The 2016 Republican convention is the first after which a greater percentage of Americans have said they are ‘less likely’ rather than ‘more likely’ to vote for the party’s presidential nominee.”
