GOP 'Image' Ratings Collapse According To Gallup Poll
"Since November, the GOP's image has suffered the most among Republican Party identifiers, from 90% favorable to 78%. Independents' and Democrats' opinions are essentially unchanged."
By Frances Langum


The latest Gallup Poll spells bad news for the Republican Party. Or does it?

Sure, the "approval rating" of the party is way down. And the "approval rating" of the Democrats is up, slightly.

But read all the way down the Gallup analysis and there's this:

Since November, the GOP's image has suffered the most among Republican Party identifiers, from 90% favorable to 78%. Independents' and Democrats' opinions are essentially unchanged.

Republicans are running away from their party. Just like they always do after a loss.

And they don't become Democrats. This time they'll scrape off their MAGA bumper sticker and become "independent constitutional conservatives who never liked the tweeting." It's always a face-saving exercise after a Republican so-called president poops the bed.

Remember when die-hard Republicans pretended they never heard of George W. Bush and joined the well-funded astroturf movement the "Tea Party"?

2. "This time they'll scrape off their MAGA bumper sticker and become "independent"

As long as they stay home and not vote, that will help IF IF IF we continue to vote like our lives depend on it!

4. Seen this before....never under estimate nasty white people. The GOP has

survived for decades even after ignorant and stupid history. The GOP is basically a cult based upon racism and misogyny. That is their base and it is not going away anytime soon.

5. "Family values" my ass.

Every one of them is a fraud and a liar.

6. Oklahoma City didn't change their stripes....

Doubt this will have much effect on the neofascist GOP either.

7. They aremt scraping off the MAGA stickers..

They're putting more on.

These defections aren't becoming indy, they are joining the Trump party.

8. A good % of magats are first time voters or were involved because of UFM. Many will return to

Their complacent occasional voter types
