Greenberg: GOP Party I.D. Tanking

http://www.thedemocraticstrategist.org/strategist/2012/09/greenberg_gop_party_id_tanking.php



From an e-blast by Stan Greenberg, entitled "A Real Turning Point: Voter Contempt For The GOP Is Driving Democrats Upward":

Having looked at a lot of polling data over the past few days, it is now clear to me that this election has reached a real turning point. The telltale factor many analysts haven't noticed is that the Republican Party has lost five points in voter identification over the past month. Contempt for the Republicans is pushing Democrats into the lead at almost every level, not only in the presidential race but across Senate races too -- and let's watch the House races now. The voters have watched the primaries and the conventions, and Romney's "47 percent" remark is going to seal it. I don't think they're waiting for the presidential debates...

pretty destroyed the true definition of the actual history of "tea" party) and just drop GOP altogether. The current "GOPper" name equals to "CRAZY" and in the outer limits of reality in other words they are downright "buffoonery".

will skew this? Fact is, non-morons aren't buying the Republican message...no matter how many millions they pump into negative ads. This is a long term problem for the Republican brand. Unless they become a party of common sense, soon...they are fucked.

Mitt Rmoney is the perfect candydate.
That wack a doodle Ryan is the perfect VP candydate.
But I for one will not be comfortable until the election is over and Our President and the Democrats in Congress are the victors. The disenfranchisement campaign by the Republicons really scares me.

They hate smart people. They hate black people. They hate brown people. They hate science. They hate fact-checkers. (Boy, howdy, do they hate fact-checkers.)

Doesn't leave much.
