Poll: Those That Identify Themselves As Democrats Continues To Nose Dive, GOP Inch’s Up Slightly

Written by: Uncle Seth The Noble on Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Rasmussen has the polling data…

The number of Americans identifying themselves as Democrats fell by nearly two percentage points in November. Added to declines earlier in the year, the number of Democrats in the nation has fallen by five percentage points during 2009.

In November, 36.0% of American adults said they were Democrats. That’s down from 37.8% a month ago and the lowest number of Democrats since December 2005. See the History of Party Trends from January 2004 to the present.

The number of Republicans inched up by just over a point in November to 33.1%. That’s within the narrow range that Republicans have experienced throughout 2009 – from a low of 31.9% to a high of 33.6%.

The number of adults not affiliated with either party grew half a point last month to 30.8%. Despite the changes, there are still more Democrats than Republicans in the nation. But the gap is down to 2.9 percentage points, the smallest since December 2007.

Clearly the Democrats over estimated the political capital they had after last years election. The country may have wanted hope and change, but not one that included the idea of big intrusive government. The Democrats have gone too far left too fast, and voters are on the verge of making them pay the price of this arrogance in 2010.

James Carville conducted a poll that has 45% of people claiming to be conservatives now. We are refounding and restoring ourselves!
