Gallup Poll Finds Trump's Convention Is A Historic Dud

Donald Trump's efforts to make the Republican National Convention "unlike any we've ever seen" produced an unexpected first: the first time more voters came away from a convention less likely to vote for the party's nominee than they were to support him or her, according to Gallup.
Gallup has surveyed on this question since 1984, and the 2016 GOP convention was the first time where a candidate ended up in negative territory.
The voters who felt less likely to vote Trump after the convention outnumbered those who felt even more motivated for the GOP nominee, 51-36, according to a
Gallup poll.
