Trump prevails over Clinton in convention speech ratings race

http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/29/media/democratic-convention-night-four-ratings/index.html

Who won the convention ratings race, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?

Trump, by a margin of 2.4 million viewers, according to Nielsen, the TV ratings firm.
Clinton's Thursday night acceptance speech at the DNC averaged 29.8 million viewers across ten broadcast and cable channels.
Trump's speech at the RNC one week earlier averaged 32.2 million viewers across the same channels.
Nielsen's totals did not include PBS. With the public broadcaster's coverage added, Trump's speech had 34.9 million viewers and Clinton had 33.8 million, a difference of 900,000.

For Trump, the victory is even sweeter because while the first three nights of the Democratic convention out-rated the same nights of the Republican convention, his speech spurred more live viewership than Clinton's on the fourth night.
"We beat her by millions," Trump said at a Friday afternoon rally.

When asked about the ratings for Clinton's speech, Trump communications director Jason Miller quipped, "That's the downside in running for Obama's third term -- nobody watches repeats in the summer."

The ten channels included here are CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, Univision, CNBC, Fox Business, and NBC Universo.
Nielsen's total does not incorporate live streaming views or web video clips that are viewed later.

YouTube said that its official live stream of the conventions peaked with 250,000 simultaneous viewers during Clinton's speech versus 217,000 simultaneous viewers during Trump's speech.

Dozens of other live streams were also available. But the vast majority of convention viewing still happens the traditional way -- live, on TV sets, through channels like CNN and NBC.

CNN was by far the highest-rated channel on Thursday, averaging 7.5 million viewers during Clinton's speech. MSNBC was #2 with 5.3 million viewers. NBC was #3 with 4.5 million.

Related: Hillary Clinton's acceptance speech capped the DNC's star-studded miniseries
While Trump's speech was slightly higher-rated on TV, the results were reversed on Facebook, which measured the volume of conversation about each convention.
Facebook said the final day of the DNC generated "46.5 million likes, posts, comments and shares" from 12.6 million American users, slightly ahead of the final day of the RNC, when the site had 45.1 million interactions from 12.2 million users.

Trump, a former reality TV star, is a student of both social media and TV ratings; he frequently comments on his attention-grabbing abilities.
That's why some of Trump's critics celebrated when the Democrats' gathering in Philadelphia turned out to be higher-rated than the Republican convention in Cleveland through Wednesday.

Monday night's DNC speeches were seen by 26 million viewers across seven channels, versus 23 million for night one of the RNC.
Tuesday night's DNC coverage averaged 24 million, versus 19 million for night two of the RNC.
And Wednesday night attracted 24.4 million viewers, versus 23.4 million viewers for the RNC.

Thursday was the highest-rated night of the week for both parties, but Trump had bigger gains, giving him the bragging rights at the end of the convention period.
Nielsen's total for Clinton's speech, 29.8 million, does not include the noncommercial networks C-SPAN and PBS.
C-SPAN is not rated.
PBS said it averaged 3.98 million viewers during the 10 p.m. hour on Thursday, when Clinton's speech began, and 2.75 million viewers during the same hour last week.

Sometimes when dealing with the Masses...the M is silent.

What they get they deserve.
The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today are Christians who acknowledge Jesus ;with their lips and walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.

US Polls: Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump narrows to 4 points

A spokeswoman for Donald Trump’s campaign said Hillary Clinton suffers from a rare language disorder caused by brain damage, a claim Clinton’s doctor quickly denied as false. And it’s been this way for a while.

Much has been written of the damage Donald Trump has done to the Republican Party brand with his disruptive rhetoric and antics.

This is only the most recent element to the preposterous narrative created by Fox News idiots and Trump surrogates as they have tried to build the case against Clinton based on her medical health.

And as memes go, this one kind of had everything: sarcasm, anger, Harambe jokes, GIFs of animals in people’s clothing, Mean Girls references, shout outs to Bernie Sanders and some third party candidates, and even a Rick Roll. Trump waited to begin airing spots until after the conventions, though he and his allies are likely to still be outspent over the next two weeks by forces aligned with Clinton. Modern elections are more easily “fixed” by hacking computer programs that control electronic voting devices to alter vote tabulations.

Donald Trump halves Hillary Clinton’s lead: poll

Republican nominee Donald Trump gained on Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in a new national poll released Sunday, cutting in half her lead in the presidential race in the course of a week.

Mrs. Clinton led Mr. Trump by 3 points, 43 percent to 40 percent, in the Morning Consult poll. She enjoyed a 6-percentage point lead in the same poll’s head-to-head match-up the previous week.

The race had not been as close since late July, when the poll showed a 3-point lead from Mrs. Clinton over Mr. Trump, 43 percent to 40 percent.”

In a four-way race, Mrs. Trump’s gains on Mrs. Clinton put him within the poll’s 2-point margin of error, 39 percent to 37 percent. Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson took 8 percent and Green Party nominee Jill Stein garnered 3 percent in the four-way race.

This election is going down to the wire. I don't believe in polls. Hillary will have to do more than what she is doing now. By the way the WT is a right-wing newspaper. Not that it means anything.

Not sure I agree with the notion that the GOP and Trump's constituency are one and the same. Definitely plenty in the GOP are with him, resulting in his nomination. However Trump has been consistently noncommital regarding party affiliation. Recall he did not pledge support for the GOP candidate. To Trump, the GOP is just another vehicle.

That said, he's definitely appealing to the nativists. There is a #NeverTrump faction in the GOP - basically a coalition of GOP establishment and Cruz supporters. Trump's support within the "conservative" electorate I think is capped.

Still though, immigration has been an issue no one has touched in decades. Polling is showing this an issue border states are interested in. The establishment's avoidance of this facet for decades is coming home to roost.

I don't envy America's choices this cycle. They both suck. It's a damn shame a solid third party candidate hasn't emerged and is as clear a sign as any how much of a lock the Dems and Republicans have on the election cycle. Imagine with racist Trump and corrupt Shillary, the next best candidate Gary Johnson can't break 10% in the polls? The system eh capable of reform from within - this election proving it to me in spades :(
