You have to say one thing for Chimperator Bush and his vassals in the Christianist controlled GOP: they know how to drive people away from the GOP. Hopefully, they will continue the trend. Only through a devasating defeat at the polls in 2008 will the Christianists be thrown overboard and the GOP given a chance to be retaken by rational individuals. Here's the latest results of a Rasmussen poll:
A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of 15,000 adults in May found that just 30.8% now say they’re Republicans. That’s down slightly from last month and down more than six percentage points from the GOP peak of 37.3% during Election 2004. The number of Republicans has been falling fairly steadily since the middle of 2005.
However, the survey also found that the number of people identifying themselves as Democrats has fallen to its lowest level in seventeen months (since January 2006). Democrats gained about two percentage points of support during 2006 and peaked at 38.0% in December of last year. Since actually taking control of Congress, Democrats have given back most of those gains. Today, 36.3% say they belong to Nancy Pelosi’s party.
As a result, the number not affiliated with either major party has jumped to another all-time high—32.9%. That’s up nearly nine percentage points since Election 2004 and means that there are now more politically unaffiliated adults than Republicans
