The number of people who describe themselves as Republican has slightly declined since the last presidential election.
The polling firm Gallup, which tracks party affiliation monthly, says that those identifying as Republicans has shrunk by two percentage points since 2020. In February 2020, 30 percent of those Gallup polled said they were Republicans, while 29 percent considered themselves Democrats.
As of February 2024, when the latest data is available, 28 percent say they are Republicans, while 30 percent say they are Democrats, showing Republican’s base declining. Newsweek contacted the Republican National Committee (RNC) by email to comment on this story.
There was a 2% decrease over 4 years. 30% to 28%. Hardly “shriveling.”
And that 2% drop was probably people who will vote for Trump but didn’t want the survey taker to know if
Turns out conservatives love authoritarianism and just want to be ruled by a king.
Who would’ve thought the political ideology spawned to conserve the influence of landowners, aristocracy, and monarchy post democratic revolution would turn out to be such of bunch of auth dickholes?
The 2% are the dead Republicans that refused to wear a mask to “own the libs”
Or just old bastards who have been voting for Reaganomics for forty years and can’t figure out why the rich get richer and they can’t afford healthcare.
Can we just lock journalists in cages until they memorize a gradeschool dictionary please?
maybe they were in the pool
