A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds that 52% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents think the GOP leadership is talking the party in the wrong direction while just 37% think it's headed in the right direction.
"That disaffection is apparent in another measure: Just 21% of Americans in this survey identify themselves as Republicans, matching the fewest since November 2009. GOP allegiance has dropped from an annual average of 31% in 2003 to annual averages of 23 or 24% the past five years straight."

(30,058 posts)4. I don't know how much they plan to change in the next few years, and some indication is McCain is
making some moves to get back on track. We, the Democrats, has to work hard to elect Democrats to offices, to continue to promote Democrat platform and the good works we are known to do.

how the GOP can control the Federal House and so many of the state houses.
And, if GOP ideas and policy promotions are so unpopular, why do democrats support so many of them?
