A Gallup poll finds that since 2007, Republicans have lost voters in nearly all categories except for frequent churchgoers.
So far in 2009, aggregated Gallup Poll data show the divide on leaned party identification is 53% Democratic and 39% Republican -- a marked change from 2001, when the parties were evenly matched, according to an average of all of that year's Gallup Polls. That represents a loss of five points for the Republicans and a gain of eight points for the Democrats.It's okay though, with Dick and Liz Cheney flogging the party's all torture all the time platform, they're bound to pick up some votes at some point. In all seriousness, I think John Cole is probably right that " if the Obama administration is a disaster, the Republicans will quickly rebound." Then liberals will be the ones stuck grumbling about how liberalism has "never been tried."
