Had Enough Indeed
According to Editor & Publisher, a recent Gallup poll shows that more Americans consider themselves Democrats than Republicans. 33% of Americans now call themselves Democrats while only 32% call themselves Republicans. While this might seem too tight to matter, the 34% of the population that now make up Independents are the telltale sign of which way the nation will go in upcoming elections, it seems.
Independents, it appears, are leaning 49% Democrat and only 42% Republican this year, whereas last year, they were dead even at 46% each.
Not a good sign for the GOP in the 2006 elections.
The latest poll was taken from January to March 2006, with a national sample of about 1,000 adults. [“Gallup: In Shift, More Americans Now Call Themselves Democrats” (Editor & Publisher)]
