A new Pew poll finds that Americans are taking an increasingly dim view of the Republican Party, a piece of news that's certain to bring smiles to the faces of Democrats. But the significance here is a bit more complex than it might at first appear.
The silver lining for the GOP is that, as you can see above, the bulk of the decline consists of self-identified Republicans saying they don't like the Republican Party. This means the new disapprovers mostly seem to be people who aren't actually ready to go vote for a Democratic congressional candidate.
On the other hand, disaffection on the part of natural Republicans does help explain why talk of a Donald Trump third-party run scares the GOP.
Damn I love having good news to start off my weekend.
By the way I really do not see that having the bulk of your decline in the polls coming from those who identify as members of your party as a "silver lining." Especially since those are the votes you need to keep Republican politicians in office.
But hey, that's just me.
Even the Republicans now starting to hate the Republican party.
