Comment on Instant Reaction to Paul Ryan at the RNC (via Google Consumer Surveys)

Comments

It's pretty cool that this data can be so easily collected and shared. Some results:

- Gender: Women were less impressed by Ryan's speech

- Age: the 35-44 and 65+ segments really liked Ryan's speech; 18-34 were unimpressed.

- Geography: slightly better response in the South and West

- Urban density: Rural areas reacted much more positively than urban/suburban areas.

- Income: the poorest respondents (0-25K) actively disliked the speech, 75K-100K were unimpressed, and 25K-50K liked it.

Most of these results are not statistically significant according to the error bars, but the trends largely agree with my intuition. This kind of information would be well worth $20 (if it was $0.10 per response).
