"55 percent of all voters call themselves Democrats or say they lean toward the party while just 36 percent call themselves Republicans or lean that way." is the unfortunate reality.
12% of Republicans said they will vote for Obama. Those are the real RINOs.
A lot of good information in this article, showing the historic trend:
Current and history of voter identification (Pew Research)
Note that the Pew poll shows 36% Dem, 35% Independents (with 15% leaning Dem and only 10% leaning Republican) and 27% Republicans. So if you add the 36% Dems and 15% Dem leaning Independents, you get 51% Dem or Dem leaners, which is consistent with this poll, leaving 27% Republicans and 10% Republican leaning Independents.

Another poll...this time from NewsWeak.
Where’s algore and his chicken little army of global warming propagandists when you need them.
Ras has them only 4 percentage points apart.
God help us! The sheeple have spoken.
Despite these trends, the proportion of voters who identify with the Democratic Party outright has not increased in recent years. Currently, 36% say they think of themselves as a Democrat, virtually unchanged from 2004 (35%) and 2000 (35%). Instead, as the proportion of self-identified Republicans has decreased, the percentage of independents has grown substantially, from 32% in 2004 to 37% today.
It ain’t called Newsweak for nuthin.
It’s way early yet. I still think McCain wins, though I’m less certain than I once was.
SpewsWeak is so full of BS.
has it ever been that bad?
has it ever been that bad?
Give it to them... they started all this crap about how bad things are... If America thinks its all doom and gloom because the Media tells them it is then give the govt to the Rats and when we are in the Greater Depression, Soup lines, Rocket inflation, Rationing of Gas and Food, unemployment rats at 10 percent and higher... and islamic terror attacks in our school yards two or three times a year... then that will be the CHANGE that America is obviously voting for....
The only platform the rats have run on for 8 years now is that everything Bush has done is wrong for America.... What they fail to realize is that its all going to come back on them 10 fold when they get power....
So give it to them... Pray and protect your own the best you can.. until they take our guns away...
Looks like newsweak polled their editorial staff again...
LOL. The AOL Straw Poll shows McCain beating Obama (a.k.a. The Teleprompter Kid) 63% to 37%.
Believe it or not, most Newsweek readers favor Obama. Just look at the poll. :D
I believe this poll was conducted in Congress.
Meaningless. In the month of June Dukakis was even further ahead of George Bush, and Jimmy Carter was blowing Reagan away.
A 64% favorable ratings for Obama? I stopped reading right there. This poll is bunk.
Divide and Conquer ping.
