Poll: Southerners Starting to 'Get It' (Now it's Dems over Repubs)

[Hissyspit]

Sabra posted this Elon University poll earlier in LBN, but it didn't make it to the Greatest Page and I think it should be there for all to see. BURIED in the article was this statistical nugget:

Of those polled 46 percent said they voted Republican in the 2004 presidential election, while 42 percent said they voted Democratic. When asked which party they will support htis year, 33 percent said Democrats and 27 percent said Republicans.

What jumps out at you here is the difference in drop-off for Democrats and Republicans," Bacot said, adding that Bush's unpoularity could prove a drag on Republican incumbents who won with 55 percent or less of the vote in 2004.

Here is Sabra's original link from late Friday/early Saturday: http://www.wistv.com/Global/story.asp?S=4581640

Elon is a great Southern college (only recently a university).
