What A Regional Party Looks Like
April 7, 2009
As a followup to this post. The Republican Party continues to hold its base in the South and not much else. From a recent poll:
Republican Party:
Northeast: 8% favorable, 82% unfavorable
Midwest: 22% favorable, 68% unfavorable
West: 20% favorable, 70% unfavorable
South: 43% favorable, 47% unfavorable
Hat-tip to Steve Benen
What “recent poll” would this be? Those numbers bear no resemblance whatsoever to any legitimate poll I have ever seen. Here’s a good example: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/generic_congressional_ballot
Uh, Kevin, did you actually follow the link above? The “Steve Benen” one? Cause that’s where the poll seems to be.
