A new poll from the Pew Research Center shows that Americans are more interested in digging into the specifics of what the two parties are advocating for than the usualy more vague speeches from candidates and office-holders.
“About half of the public (52%) is interested in learning about the Republican Party’s platform, while 44% are interested in Romney’s acceptance speech and about the same percentage (46%) in Ryan’s convention speech,” Pew found. “In terms of advance interest in events at the Democratic convention, 55% say they are interested in learning about the Democratic platform, while nearly as many express interest in Barack Obama’s acceptance speech (51%) and Bill Clinton’s convention speech (52%).”
