Short and sweet.
Rasmussen:
The number of Republicans in the country increased by a percentage point in December, while the number of Democrats fell back two points to the lowest level ever recorded by Rasmussen Reports.During December, 35.4% of Americans considered themselves Republicans. That’s up from 34.3% in November and just below the high for the year of 35.6% reached in May.
At the same time, just 32.7% of adults said they were Democrats, down from 34.9% in November. The previous low for Democrats was 33.0% in August of this year. .
Independents, those not affiliated with either political party, rose to 32% from 30.8% in November.
As previously shown, that also favors Republicans because Pew Research shows that non-affiliated voters generally leaner to the right of the middle.
