A new Gallup survey tracked the party affiliations of Americans throughout 2021. In the 1st quarter of the year, Gallup found that 49 percent of America leaned towards the Democrats while 40 percent favored the GOP. Dems have had the advantage since 2012.
While the data remained steady for Democrats in the 2nd quarter of 2021, their slice of the electorate went down to 45 percent by the 3rd quarter, while Republicans went up to 44 percent.
By the 4th quarter, Democrats were down to 42 percent while the Republicans overtook them at 47 percent. In all, the poll tracked a 14-point negative shift for Democrats through the year.
“Both the nine-point Democratic advantage in the first quarter and the five-point Republican edge in the fourth quarter are among the largest Gallup has measured for each party in any quarter since it began regularly measuring party identification and leaning in 1991,” said Gallup’s Jeffrey Jones. “The GOP has held as much as a five-point advantage in a total of only four quarters since 1991. The Republicans last held a five-point advantage in party identification and leaning in early 1995, after winning control of the House of Representatives for the first time since the 1950s.”
The results correlate with the approval of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Donald Trump’s approval has risen and Biden’s is crashing.
We also don’t think Americans want the economy to crash or to become slaves to government. At least we hope so.

Better late than never.
Over the last year, The People have seen what Democrats are really about. As Reagan once said, “I didn’t leave the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party left me.” The shift is not surprising, America is not a Communist Country, but the Democrat Party clearly is. America is really a Conservative Country, there is no longer a Conservative Party in America. Government is now all about Bigger and Bigger Government and control instead of providing the people with services. A Party that is hell bent of reducing the Federal Government to 5% of GDP and returning power to the States will be a winner. That was where President Trump was heading, so the Bureaucracy (and Democrats) had to do whatever it took to get rid of President Trump. In a fair, fraud free election, President Trump would win with at least 55% of the vote today; possibly 60% considering Traitor Joe’s Approval Ratings. As a Libertarian, I only vote Republican because they are the lesser of the two evils as did Reagan and Trump! Both Reagan and Trump were too Conservative for the RINOs in the Republican Party.
When you look at the electorate, 5% love the Democrats because the Democrats make then rich, 25% love Democrats because they get free stuff; the rest of the people who vote Democrat are just stupid. All you have to do is ask a Democrat why they are Democrat and you know you are dealing with an immature child in an adult body who is scared of the World.
