Clint Eastwood bests Mitt Romney as RNC highlight: Poll

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Clint Eastwood's highly publicized conversation with an empty chair was the highlight of last week's Republican National Convention, according to the latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.

Of the 1,008 adults polled between August 31 and September 3, 20 percent said Eastwood's speech was the standout event of the RNC.

Mitt Romney's GOP nomination acceptance came in second, drawing 17 percent of the vote, and Ann Romney's 'I love you, women!' speech grabbed 10 percent.

20 percent said there wasn't a standout event. Significantly fewer people polled watched the RNC this year, the Pew study reported.

Survey results show an overall viewer decline from the 2008 convention, which starred Sarah Palin (The GOP vice-presidential candidate snagged 50 percent of the top moment vote while John McCain, like Romney, pulled 17 percent). Thirty-seven percent watched 'at least some coverage' in 2012, compared to 56 percent in 2008.
