A new Gallup poll spells MORE bad news for Democrats.
For the first time in years, Republicans now OUTNUMBER Democrats.
This change comes on the heels of a disheveled Democrat party that has no leadership and has drifted so far left; it looks more like a Communist party than a Democrat party.
From Peoples Pundit
The Peoples Pundit reported: For the first time in years, self-identified Republicans slightly outnumber Democrats nationwide, according to the Gallup U.S. Daily Tracking Poll.Political junkies and news consumers would never know it if they simply watched network and cable news all day, but the results of Gallups tracking are the latest set of data indicating the modern Democratic Party is in serious political peril.
In Jan. 2009 (9-11), right before former President Barack Obama was sworn into office after his landslide electoral college victory over Sen. John McCain, R- Ariz., a majority of Americans (51%) identified as Democrats when including leaners. As early as Feb. 1, Democrats still had a slight edge in party affiliation nationwide, 47% to 42% Now, only 43% with leaners self-identify with the Democratic Party. Without leaners, it just 25% juxtaposed to 36% in Jan. 2008.
For Republicans, 28% excluding leaners self-identify with the GOP, up only 1 point from 27% in 2008. But including leaners puts them 4 points higher than 8 years ago at 44%. Still, the shift is largely from the loss of independents, who backed President Donald J. Trump by large margins in most battleground states in November against Hillary Clinton.

I'd rather see solid reporting on actual voter registration, not just "self-identified" on a poll. These polls all suck donkey balls.
I do think there is movement among the under-thirty crowd and in union households (like coal miners and other blue-collar union people) toward the GOP. The Dems declared their hostility to their loyal working class voters and it's too late to pretend otherwise.

Huh. You'd think they'd get more than 2% support. I'm guessing it must be because of other things.

And most LIBERTARIANS want anarchy. But they try to hide it by saying they support "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
