The MSM sure won't tell you about this clear trend. Of course, we could blow the whole thing by nominating someone like Huckabee. In the meantime, though, the trends are quite positive despite the gloom and doom you read about GOP prospects next year.

Of course, we could blow the whole thing by nominating someone like Huckabee. someone who isn't Fred Thompson.

The question then is how many are left leaning socialists?

I think my prophecy is starting to come true.

Decades of abortions and homosexual acts is causing a decline in the number of RATS.

These results are based upon tracking surveys of 15,000 adults per month. The margin of sampling error is less than one percentage point, with a 95% level of confidence.

Uhuh sure. Whatever you say.

Please keep in mind that figures reported in this article are for all adults, not Likely Voters.

Which is how they explain it all away when this doesn't match reality.

Too funny. The news media, as we all know, is always absolutely accurate in it’s polling. Yeah right. And we have the dirty little secret that the vast majority of “I”’s vote “R”.

[AZObserver]

At heart, I think most Americans WANT to be Republicans, for the optimism, fiscal responsibility and fair play for which the GOP typically stands. The past several years have been tough for the GOP (unpopular Iraq war, out-of-control spending, scandals); the Dems should be mopping up. This poll shows the resilience of the party after only one year of Democratic control of Congress.

I’ve always thought most elections are the Republicans to lose. . .

I registered Republican SOLELY to vote for Fred Thompson in the primaries.

[Jet Jaguar]

Thank Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

[Cinnamon]

the question is how many of them are former leftists switching on the sole basis of the illegal immigrants debacle.

[Lancey Howard]

BUMP!

[Caipirabob]

Likely because liberals are registering as Republicans to screw up our primaries.

That's how we get candidates like Huckleberry and Mittwit.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

What’s also funny is that Republicans have pretty much NEVER had ID parity since Roosevelt’s era. Even in 1994, when the GOP won big at the Congressional level. The GOP doesn’t even actually need to get the majority of votes in the aggregate of House elections to take back the House, since a lot of Dim votes tend to be clumped in sure-to-win races in urban districts anywise. The rest of the Dim votes are spread out, losing in many competitive districts.

Number of Republicans in U.S. Increases in December to Two-Year High

This phenomenon happens every time the rats take power and have an opportunity to show what they stand for. And normal humans who work for a living and want to raise nice, normal, traditional American families don't like what the rats stand for.

[HD1200]

This can’t be right.

The left wing nuts at Daily Kos, DU, Moveon.org have been besides themselves for 9 months now telling each other all the big changes they are going to make when they have the Presidency and still own the House & Senate in 2009!

[Halgr]

I know FReepers don’t want to hear this, but, I’ve seen a lot of comments on various forums about people registering as R’s because of Ron Paul.

Me, I’m still gonna vote for Fred

[Kickass Conservative]

Wow, could you imagine where we would be if we had someone out there, (besides Rush), communicating Conservative principles in a way that people would understand?
Ann Coulter once said that it’s a miracle a Republican can get elected Dog Catcher with the liberal media currently running the country.

[rideharddiefast]

Looks like the 1% of the far left anti-American democrats are temporally switching registration so they can vote for cut and run Paul.

[denydenydeny]

Very welcome news.

Apologies for actually commenting on the article instead of gleefully hijacking the thread into another candidate-bashing exercise.

[Salvation]

**Number of Republicans in U.S. Increases in December to Two-Year High**

And the dimocrats think they are going to win an election? NOT!

[PackerBronco]

I'm sending two new Republicans to the voting booth this November with another four waiting in the wings. Heh-heh.
