The number of Democrats and Republicans in the United States held relatively steady in June,

snip

During June, 35.4% of Americans considered themselves Republicans, down slightly from 35.7% in May.

Rasmussen Reports tracks this information based on telephone interviews with approximately 15,000 adults per month since November 2002. The margin of error for the full sample is less than one percentage point, with a 95% level of confidence.

Are you trying to avoid “serial killers” by staying out of those cities?

[arrogantsob]

And they had money coming out of their ears. Great stuff.

[mandaladon]

Very good analysis.

What worries me about our “independents” is that every time I see a blogger marking him/herself as “Independent” as opposed to “Republican” or “Democrat” they seem to go into a liberal rant. It is as though some libs want to pretend that they thought things through analytically to come to their liberal viewpoint. Add that to the 47 percent who DON’T pay federal taxes and it is easy to believe there are more of them than there are of us. We can only hope that there really are a significant number of true “independents” and that they love this country as much as we do. Four more years of Obama and this country may turn into a dictatorship while the media sits on the sideline and cheers.

Romney SHOULD wipe the floor with Obama during the debates but don’t forget that the MSM will do everything in their power to cover for the Amateur-in-Chief. Look at what happened with Hillary and the Amateur. Fortunately for the media, they didn’t have to work hard at making McCain look dumber than Obama - he did that all by himself.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Or like me see that we have choice in the election.
Your choice is a Socialist and a Marxist.
Romney has yet to put forth any plan to deal with our problems.
There has to be a reason to vote for this guy rather anyone but Obama.
You really believe that Romney would change anything or that the Republicans are going to do anything except be more like Democrats? We had a fake Conservative in Bush who along with his Republican Congress enacted more new spending and entitlements than any President since Johnson and actually spent 23% more in real Dollars than Johnson did in 1965.

We are on the trajectory we are and there is no stopping it, either the Debt and or health-care costs will get us along with the entitlements that we cannot afford.

I am an independent....a conservative independent. I will vote for the most conservative candidate in any given race. I left the republicans in 2008 after the McCain wimp-campaign. Didn’t want their name associated with me.

[unlearner]

Well I was a Republican who is now independent. It does not mean I don’t know what I believe or am ignorant. I feel how Ronald Reagan described the Democrat party. I didn’t leave it. It left me.

[Steve Van Doorn]

The excuse they give for giving advantages is they say democrats don't like to take a poll when they are called.

I would say it is more likely that is closer to the margin of corruption.

[ConservativeMind]

Maybe the Free Republic anti-Romney effect is to blame.

If enough Republicans and Independents won’t vote for Romney, but still call themselves, “conservative,” you wind up with more people overall voting for 0bama of making it a virtual tie under bad circumstances for 0bama.

We can all assure 0bama wins if Romney doesn’t get votes from us. Not that I’m pushing that, here...
