“National polls conducted in recent days made clear that the overwhelming majority of Republicans are satisfied with Trump’s performance and embrace his bid for a second term. But what they wanted from the convention — hope, inspiration and a plan to gain control of the novel coronavirus — was often at odds with what’s playing out on home screens this week, where speaker after speaker has slammed Democrats as radical socialists and spoken of the pandemic in the past tense rather than as a deadly threat that is not under control. A huge majority of Republicans — 85 percent — said in a CBS News poll that they wanted to hear their party spell out its plans for the next four years, while only 15 percent said they preferred to hear why former vice president Joe Biden shouldn’t be the next president. Similarly, 90 percent of Republicans said they wanted to hear good things about Trump, and only 10 percent hoped to hear criticism of Biden” – Washington Post.
