Conventions Unnecessary Poll Finds
An Associated Press poll shows a majority of Americans view political conventions as unnecessary and not informative about issues. Fifty five percent expect little useful information to decide how to vote, and sixty percent favor selecting presidential candidates by voters, unchanged since 1988. Women and younger independents fear negative attacks will dominate. Unity and platform themes are seen as enabling party governance and clarity for voters.
