The Pew Research Center for People and the Press published the results of a new survey that shows "Public allegiance to the Republican Party has plunged since the second year of George W. Bush's presidency". Both Cenk Uygur and Andrew Sullivan wrote about it.
"In 2002, the number of people who identified themselves as Republican or Democrat was the same. Both parties had 43% of the population on their side. In 2007, that number has become 50% for the Democrats and 35% for the Republicans. That is an enormous lead for the Democrats. The Pew Research Center says that is the biggest lead either party has ever had since they have been asking the question."
Sullivan was unhappy with Rove before. I think he said something like it's one thing to sell your soul for a majority, but a 51% one is not worth it. "They may have created the most loyally Democratic generation since the New Deal with the under 25s."
"It turns out that Karl Rove has gone a long way toward securing a permanent majority in American politics ... for liberals and Democrats."
I'm happy.
