Rock the Vote's Pace Poll

[Norquist Nemesis]

I watched the re-broadcast of RTV's press briefing. Pace University did a poll and one of the things highlighted that caught my attention is that the GOP drive to register the religious segment "have borne fruit". Specifically, with Evangelicals. Isn't this Bush's religion? After reading the results, I'm seeing some gloom and doom coming in a few years. :scared:

Partisan Registration at a Stalemate

The GOP's publicized efforts to boost electoral participation among Evangelicals have borne fruit, yet they are still outnumbered in the electoral pool: 4 in 10 new voters (39%) consider themselves Evangelical while a majority (55%) does not. And although new voters are slightly more inclined to describe themselves as conservative (26%) or moderate-to-conservative (10%) than liberal (21%) or moderate to liberal (11%), only 33% of new voters describe themselves as Republicans compared to 35% who describe themselves as Democrats. More critically, almost a quarter of new voters (24%) describe themselves as middle-of-the-road moderates.

"New voters in the 2004 elections include a plurality of self-described moderates who hold the balance of power and could swing either Democratic or Republican," says Jonathan Trichter, Director of the Pace Poll at Pace University. "While FDR's stewardship through the Great Depression and World War II is believed to have created a generation of Democrats, there is little evidence President Bush's stewardship through the War on Terror and his historically unprecedented approval ratings in the aftermath of 9/11 have translated into a majority of new GOP voters."

1. They have peaked out

on the number of fundies and angry rednecks. Its happening soon, they're going down. No wonder the desperate tactics, massive voter fraud and manipulation, and frantic push to enact their extremist corporate Taliban agenda.
