GOP overtakes Dems in party affiliation

From Robert Barnes: Gallup's question about self identifying political affiliation is an interesting historical indicator of election outcome that has been consistently accurate.

The gap between D and R widens leading up to an election where the democrat wins and narrows going into an election when the republican wins.

He believes that it is actually an enthusiasm indicator. It has recently undergone a major shift resulting in the closest gap since 2004. Strong sign it is going to be a Republican election.

Nearly 450,000 dems have joined walkaway. Turns out crazy and dangerous aren’t a crowd pleaser.

Proof positive that, majority of polls are wrong, since most of them take party affiliation into consideration when contacting those to be polled.

Instead of a 10 point gap that Biden enjoys in the popularity vote nationwide, it might actually be 10 point gap in favor of Trump.

Oh... so maybe those polls with D+9 or 10 samples
Might not be fully reliable?

Pollsters adjust party affiliation in their polls which is why it varies from poll to poll. They don’t use raw data.

Gallup’s is self identification and it was amazingly accurate for each of the previous elections.

Looks like democrats are in for a big surprise, though Biden’s staff has been warning that the polls are wrong. And they have summoned Obama to come in and help get the dem vote out.

CNN has not been credible for anything for over 20 years.

CNN would have the same 5 points lead against Trump, if Big Foot was the opponent instead of Biden.

fascinating!

Link to gallup poll:

https://news.gallup.com/poll/15370/party-affiliation.aspx

scroll down for old election dates and scroll down more for results with leaners included (spoiler alert 47 D to 44 R including leaners, which may sound underwhelming but that’s identical to election week ... 2010!)

Keep in mind that 450,000 are just the registered #walkaway voters. There are many hundreds of thousands more voters who got red pillled and never even heard of #walkaway! My sister and one of my co-workers are just 2 examples. People are not flipping the other way from R to D. That’s a fact!

Most of us can remember when it was very popular to call CNN the Clinton News Network.
