Number of Republicans in America Reaches Record High (Rasmussen)

Rasmussen Reports ^ | September 01, 2012

[KansasGirl]

After falling for two straight months, the number of Americans who consider themselves Republicans jumped nearly three points in August.

During August, 37.6% of Americans considered themselves Republicans. That’s up from 34.9% in July  and 35.4% in June. It’s also the largest number of Republicans ever recorded by Rasmussen Report since monthly tracking began in November 2002. The previous peak for the GOP was 37.3% in September 2004.

Yeah, and that Democracy Corps just released was a joke in itself with a 6-pt Dem skew but shows a GOP 15-pt advantage with indies 53% to 38%. This would translate to a 57.5-42.5
breakdown on Election Day. How in anybody’s universe does this result in a 49%-47% Obama lead in this poll?

I know the Dems are math challenged when it comes to polling but come on!!

A swing of nearly 12 points from November, 2008. That’s very encouraging.

It is nice to know that, once in a while, people act rationally.

I’m not a Pubbie’ but proud that my Dad and most of my family are. The only thing my GOP family hates is the amount of junk mails they receive asking for $$.

Was just polled on my cell phone...a live person then a four question automated poll. Punched in a vote for Obama (snicker). Take that, Chicago.

The last PPP poll I took I rated my self a black independent, moderate voting republican. hehe

Combine the 12 point identification shift with an apparent enthusiasm gap and you have the makings of a very interesting election, not just for President but for the Senate as well.

This, together with record profits for America’s firearms industry, is just about the only thing for which we can be grateful to Obama.

“I’ll be damned, we’re Republicans!”

Exactly!

Lots of Americans are reacting to Obama that way.

Go ahead, try vote'n twice

[nickcarraway]

Then how come there isn’t a Republican running for president?

[ontap]

Another factoid....Democrat voters and dead voters always vote for the same person!!!

Tide is right, and they would all crawl over broken glass to voter Republican in the November election.

- “Barry of the Bungle” must be chugging a lot of “his” WH bier (he used someone else’s recipe) this weekend - his rapid response showed he and his thugs were watching the convention and went bonkers

- Too bad Clint Eastwood cannot get royalties on the millions of views by now.....

- You could see Clint’s smile as the delegates cheered him -

- I see cartonist Ramirez jumped right on it - but FR pulled the thread - copyright problemos -

- I already sent out emails with embedded audio -

I disagree with the article. In Texas, to vote in the primaries, you must declare for democrat or republican. There is no option. You either declare or don’t vote. In the general, I don’t think there is a requirement for this declaration.

I declared for republican because I wanted to vote for Cruz.
THAT vote does not make me a republican. GHW Bush and GW Bush ended my life as a ‘republican’. I, and my friends and neighbors are CONSERVATIVE. Voting for the republican is voting for the lesser of two evils. And in this election ONE MUST VOTE.
