Only 25% of voters say they are Repuiblicans

[edhopper]

keep that in mind whenever you see such and such percent of Republicans believe this or that.

That is the percent of 25%, so when 60% of Republicans approve of something or someone, that is only 15% of the voters.

You will never see this simple fact referenced when the media reports on these polls.

1. Good thing to keep in mind...

I suspect they will still vote repub for the most part, but the skewing of the polls has to be accounted for.

[rickyhall]

2. Conservatives are in the minority in reality.

[magicarpet]

3. They are all just too ashamed that they support the Nazi agenda.

But they will continue to vote the Fascist Party when behind the curtains of the election booth.

[CrispyQ]

10. This is what I think too.

Yesterday there was an article about thousands of registered repubs leaving the Republican Party, but 11 million more people voted for Trump in 2020 than in 2016. This is after four years of seeing what a vile, crude POS he is. Trumpism is about to hijack the Republican Party. What will the "moderates" do? Start a third party? How successful have third parties been in our history? I think you are right that they will continue to vote repub behind the curtain.

29. They just don't want the nasty parts of trDump to get on them,... so outside the election booth they

... disavow anything to do with him until they vote.

4. Whatever

47%+ of ALL Voters, cast their vote for the WORST PIECE OF SHIT HUMAN BEING in the country's history.

I guess there were plenty of so-called Independents that heard his racist diatribes, and liked them.

[Silent3]

5. A lot of horrible Republican opinions are shared by a chunk of self-declared "Independents"...

...and even, oddly enough, some small percentage of people who call themselves Democrats, so your 15% might be more like 20-25%. of all American adults sometimes.

[doc03]

6. Many Trump voters I know were Union workers when there was such a thing. They say they

are registered Democrats but haven't voted for Democrats in years. They claim the party left them.

[Mike 03]

7. Yes! Whenever you hear "half of Americans think the election was stolen" or "the country

is divided between people who support Trump and people who don't" please remember what edhopper is saying here. And not all Republicans believe the election was stolen, or are Q Anon followers. (Yes, there are too many).

[Lunabell]

8. Unfortunately they vote like hell.

That's why we lost in Florida this past year. Due to covid, we didn't have the boots on the ground, GOTV activism we usually have.

9. Excellent Point

that I've mentioned in other posts.

[BlueIdaho]

11. Our goal should be to make the GQP small enough

To drown in a bathtub.

[magicarpet]

30. .... TOILET....

[Johnny2X2X]

12. 40% agree with political violence

40% of Republicans agree with political violence. That means 10%. Sounds pretty small, that's still 33 Million people. We live in a country with 33 million people who would be OK with killing Dems for Reps to hold onto power.

13. Thanks for this -

I've been meaning to find out!

I agree - it is rarely if ever stated on MSM! It's all "95% of R's support drumpf," yada yada. But how many AMERICANS / voters does that represent?

Appreciate the info.

Do you have a cite or link? I'm interested in numbers for Ds, Is.

24. Really interesting, thank you.

Amazing how overall consistent the numbers have been over the time of the survey!

[relayerbob]

15. Not sure what "media" you are referring to

Both CNN and MSNBC have said that many times

[edhopper]

18. Don't see it on the networks

or in print.

[uponit7771]

23. I've never seen them give hard numbers

[GOPistheEnemy]

19. So What?

75 million 'people' are down with fascism does it really matter what the swine call themselves?

[edhopper]

20. Matters

when the polls are reported.

[GOPistheEnemy]

22. the only thing that matters is the vote

people lie to pollsters all the time the scum that vote for the racist and fascist republicans intentionally lie all the time to them.

polls said hillary would win, how did that work out?

Know your enemy first.

[LAS14]

27. After this senate trial is over I'd like to see a poll of how many Trump voters would do it again.

[GOPistheEnemy]

28. at least 70 million

face it, America has a problem with fascism and domestic terrorism and it needs to be dealt with now, without mercy.

[marble falls]

31. Other than needlessly maligning swine, nobil anmals they are, we got this. We stop coddling and ...

... start applying rule of law to the RW. We let them know bullying on any level is not tolerated, from blocking sidewalks armed to bombs. We get rid of plea bargaining, particularly without a full accounting of what were their crimes and disarming them completely. They don't want convicts to vote, well I don't want gun-hugging RW criminals armed.

And this is one value I picked up here totally from DU: take guns away from anyone at any opportunity - being on bail, being charged with a gun crime, being on a peace warrant, any scintilla of domestic violence, (there's a longer list).

If we're going to parse out the 2nd amendment then "well organized" seems pretty clear. 41,000 gun deaths in 2020 don't seem too indicative of "well organized" to me. With that kind of mortality rate one would expect the military to stand down and fix the problem. Our "militias" might want to become "regulated".

21. Say.

[WarGamer]

25. The most recent Gallup shows...

(R) 24%
(D) 30%
(I) 45%

[LAS14]

26. THANK YOU!!! Every time I see a report of what percentage of Republicans...

... support this or that I ask "Well, how many Republicans are left????"

[Brush Bunny]

32. Spot on.
