If you're following The Professional Left Podcast like I've been telling you to do for-fucking-ever, then you already know this.
If you haven't - catch up, dammit.
CNN:
Fewer people say they consider themselves Republicans, according to recent polling. But they're not becoming Democrats instead.
That's the conclusion of an analysis of Gallup data by Marquette Law professor and pollster Charles Franklin. He found that while there is a slight increase in Democratic Party support among Americans, more Americans are just becoming pure independents.
To be fair, this has happened after past presidential elections. In 2005 and 2013, the number of pure independents also increased.
But this year's uptick swing to pure independents is slightly larger. It's enough of a shift that it could indicate some new erosion in the Republican base.
Notice, there's no explanation on how anybody's supposed to know these folks are "Pure Independents", but what's a little factuality between friends, right?
