21. I wouldn't think too much of it

If it weren't for 2012 when the post 1st debate polls had an strong win for Romney and then Obama fell behind Romney until Superstorm Sandy and his tremendous response to that turned the election around.

Would like to see a breakdown of partisan affiliation.

Still though, the speech was atrocious. It shows how insane almost all republicans are that the majority of them viewed it positively.

It just would have been nicer if most republicans had the reaction of Nicole Wallace and Meghan McCain and not this.
