Poll-itics: Republicans Losing Across All Demographic Groups

By GottaLaff


Rushpublics lose all over the place... except with churchgoers:
The decline in Republican Party affiliation among Americans in recent years is well documented, but a Gallup analysis now shows that this movement away from the GOP has occurred among nearly every major demographic subgroup. Since the first year of George W. Bush's presidency in 2001, the Republican Party has maintained its support only among frequent churchgoers, with conservatives and senior citizens showing minimal decline.

So far in 2009, aggregated poll data show the divide on party identification is 53% Democratic and 39% Republican -- a marked change from 2001, when the parties were evenly matched.
