Number of Republicans in America Reaches Record High (Rasmussen)
Rasmussen Reports ^ | September 01, 2012

Posted on 09/01/2012 10:08:52 AM PDT by 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.

I seriously can’t say this is a good thing; considering how perverted by liberals the Republican Party has become.

Approx. a year ago or so ago a fella that our family knows told me he voted for the bamster, he said to my face “i’m an idiot for doing so” he went on to say that Palin would make a good Pres.

He’s a Union print shop worker.

Just a small example of some realizing how stupid they were.

I got polled by Rassmusen today!

The voice asked if I was registered as a Republican, a democrat, didn’t know, or Independent. I’m not registered in any party, they don’t even have that requirement in my state, so I chose Independent. In any case, I hope the numbers saying democrat fall to an all time low.

Just think, after Obama’s election less than 4 short years ago, the driveby media were writing all kinds of articles and hosting talking head shows on the “Death of the Republican Party” and the democrats being on top for 50 years... Now, here we are.

It started with Rush saying he wished Obama failed, and then the TEA party rose up in righteous indignation, flaming spendthrift democrats at town halls across the country, the November 2010 EARTHQUAKE, and now, perhaps it is the beginning of the death of the democratic party!

We’ve come a long way, baby!

Well, of course it is. What else could it be.

I say, welcome.

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

Change 'moderate' to conservative, and that would accurately describe me.

thank you. It could be the youngins getting an eye-opener, butI doubt it.

Self-defining stinks...pelosi thinks she’s a mainstream moderate

Republican and conservative are 2 different things.

These “noobies” are like the afghan army...we train ‘em and they shoot us in the back.

Seen recently in the 2008 election(
approx 5 million Bush crossovers to obama and approx. 5 million stay at home “R-conservatives” - how they came up with these numbers and assumptions, I’ll never know).

Keep the faith, but better to keep your powder dry.

67.8% of all statistics are made up.
