and republicans are close to a record low. The voters are waking up. Now we just have to run the establishment traitors out. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/01/poll-political-party-identify-217562#.f9zks7d:Sofy The share of Americans identifying as Democrats dropped to a record low in 2015, according to the latest Gallup results published Monday, in the latest indication that Americans’ attachment to either political party is at or nearing historical lows. Overall, 42 percent over the course of the past year identified as independents, a slight drop from the 43 percent who identified as such in 2014. While Democrats maintained a small advantage over Republicans — 29 percent to 26 percent — the Democratic share is at its lowest in Gallup history. Story Continued Below Prior to 2015, the lowest share of Americans identifying as members of the Democratic Party came in 2014, with 30 percent. Going back to 1988, 29 percent is the lowest overall share of self-identified Democrats since the polling institution began interviewing subjects via telephone instead of in person. According to its data from 1951 to 1987, however, there was never a year in which less than 37 percent identified themselves as Democrats, making the 29 percent the lowest in Gallup’s 65 years of asking the question. Meanwhile, the share of self-identified Republicans is just 1 percentage point above its Gallup historical low of 25 percent in 2013, dating back to 1988. In its years of in-person interviews prior to 1988, Gallup had several years in which Republicans polled lower than 25 percent. Over roughly the past quarter-century, more Americans have consistently identified as Democrats, though Republicans have pulled even in four years — namely those associated with the 9/11 attacks and the invasion of Iraq (2002-2003) and the rise of the tea party (2010 and 2011). Results for the survey were compiled from 12,137 landline and cellphone interviews conducted throughout the course of 2015 and have a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage point.

Basically, the poll is asking, how many of you are complete idiots. Not many want to openly identify themselves as that.
yess... most of them are the same as democrats. fakes who pretend they care about their constituents but they are really just serving the cronies. obamacare instead of single payer unlimited immigration / cheap labor / wal mart/fortune 500 (overseas manufactures) customers with food stamps and handouts instead of quality jobs and a productive economy raising the tide for all current americans.
Q Why America Is Moving Left http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/01/why-america-is-moving-left/419112/ Republicans may have a lock on Congress and the nation’s statehouses—and could well win the presidency—but the liberal era ushered in by Barack Obama is only just beginning. UQ
well, to be fair, republicans are less likely to raise taxes, and when you think about it, you can bitch all you want about the government, but for most of us both parties are worthless until APR 15. Then they actually make meaningful changes (for the worse) in our life.
There is nothing wrong with the Democratic party. Their policies and stance is spot on. The problem is the GOP who just get in the way of progress.
you figure out a way to progress without costing me money and I will gladly stand aside and let you progress to your hearts content.
I think we can all agree that the Republicans are the only party with rational policy positions on climate change. fan27
