Fewer Watched GOP Convention, But Most Remember Eastwood

37%

Of those polled say they watched all or some of the Republican convention, down from 56% in 2008, according to a new Pew Research survey that finds the public paid far less attention to this year’s Republican convention than it did four years ago; but 20% of those who watched cited Clint Eastwood’s speech as the convention highlight, while just 17% named Mitt Romney’s speech. Meanwhile, a new Economist/YouGov Poll finds 93% of those who saw any part of the convention remembered Eastwood’s 12-minute address to an empty chair.
