“Gallup routinely measures U.S. adults’ party identification and the political leanings of independents. In the first quarter, 30% of Americans identified as Democrats and 19% were Democratic-leaning independents, while 25% were Republican identifiers and 15% Republican-leaning independents. The vast majority of the remaining 11% were independents with no partisan leanings.“
Dems opening it back up again, it’s once again cool to be a dem.
How can this be for the first time since 2012, when in July of 2020 Gallup was saying that 50% of Americans favored Democrats (32% + 18%)? You know, just before the polls told us the Democrats stood to make dramatic new gains in the House…which didn’t happen?
Democrats are doing really well at keeping up their December energy. Right now they’ve positioned themselves as the party that will bang on the table and ram things through for working-class families.
Meanwhile, Republicans spent the last 2 months blowing on social issue embers and cancel culture. Ted Cruz is going to the mat for Dr.Suess when he needs to be in the back room with Schumer to get help for Texas into the infrastructure bill.
MW…I don’t know why you chose him but he is a politician I donated to last year…which is something I’ve only done one other time in my life. In part it was because of the importance to the Senate balance and the other was that several business associates that know him…have stated he is honest.
Nope…I compared him to Hillary and he clearly won in that category. I will say though, he was much, MUCH better than I thought he’d be and earned my vote the second time around.
