According to Morning Consult, Republicans’ most popular figure is speaking tonight: First Lady Melania Trump, with a 45 percent favorability rating. However, that’s … not that high, which speaks to how unpopular or unknown the other major figures in the GOP are. When Morning Consult conducted a similar poll for the DNC, four Democrats had higher favorability ratings than Melania Trump. Michelle Obama’s was the highest, at 60 percent.

Trump is really breaking with norms in using his official duties and power during this convention. Pardoning someone during the RNC. The secretary of state speaking tonight. The whole discussion with the hostages last night. Just really unprecedented for a convention.
