CBS News Poll: No Republicans Found In America (CBS)- According to a recent CBS poll of 1003 random adults conducted over the weekend, only 3% of Americans identify themselves as "Republicans" (1% Unweighted)...

In regards to the CBS News Poll that shows Bush's approval rating at an all-time low of 34%, many people have accused CBS of deliberately skewing the results by only including 28% Republicans as opposed to 37% Democrats (weighted). The unweighted results were even more lopsided with 27% Republicans and 40% Democrats. I offered a different theory. Perhaps many Republicans simply did not want to speak with CBS news, leaving the pollsters with a large underrepresentation of the GOP.

1. If only that translated to Congress

*sigh* :)

2. People Are Embarrassed To Identify W/ Republicans

That's very true. I mean, who in their right mind would want to be associated w/ these fucking criminal psychopaths? Answer: Only other criminal psychopaths.

5. Happens every time in Banana Republics...

Soon we'll be told that 98% of voters love El Presidente...but no one will personally know anyone who likes him.

[ladjf]

10. That would be true of the rich bastards that voted for him just

for profit.

3. If you see an uncontested Repuglican office,

run for it or get your dog in the race. The tide has turned.

[RagingInMiami]

4. It's like what happened after the fall of Nazi Germany

Nobody admitted to being a nazi. So who were all those Germans in those old black and white videos cheering him on?

[Ilsa]

6. If no one wants to be a rethuglican anymore, Bush isn't going to

much support in the polls. He's managed to ruin the party of Lincoln, along with everything else he touches.

8. No Nazis in Germany after 1945, either...

hrmmm...

[benburch]

9. In 1948, there were NO Nazis in Germany. nt

11. When it's a piece of satire or spoof, you kind of need to leave

an indicator somewhere in the post... i know the title should seem obvious, but really - some people are gullible ! :hi:

[DaveinMD]

12. more likely

partisan attitudes have shifted since the election. More people are self-identifying as Dems because of how bad Bush is fucking up.

[radio4progressives]

13. the article is tongue in cheek... written by a right winger..

to disparage CBS polling on Bush's popularity..

[DaveinMD]

15. I understand that

but the point is the same. More and more people in these polls are self identifying as Dems. Not just the CBS poll. It is the most encouraging trend of all.

[bilgewaterbill]

17. Are you daft? Polls mean squat.

Elections are what counts. Kerry would be Pres. if it were left up to polls. When we win an election we can talk about swinging sentiment. Right now we have to deal with members of our party who vote for the patriot act and Alito.

[DaveinMD]

19. actually

Kerry was trailing in the polls most of the election. But insult me if you must.

[Jack Rabbit]

14. Some of you need to read the piece

It is written by a Bushbot who is desperately trying to say that the poll is biased.

[Old and In the Way]

16. The Reluctant Bush Voter Syndrome.

They really, really believe in Bush Republicanism....except that don't won't to tell pollsters this. Pretty sooner all Republican voters will stop talking to pollsters, but they will mysteriously find their voice at the ballot box.

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. Well now...IF the polls say that in Novemebr..THEY COULDN'T STEAL

the election and get away with it! :woohoo:

[Junkdrawer]

21. ...but will they try? And..as one wag told me....

"Who's going to stop them?......I thought so..."

[father_of_hope]

23. they HAVE stolen 2006 already

and will get away with it again if Dems don't get off their asses.

The election in November has already been taken care of. The machines and computers have already been rigged. Repugnants can't afford to lose power, now more than ever. If they do, they'll be impeached, indicted, prosecuted and sent to prison.

Stop thinking there'll be fair elections, that's why we lost in 200, 2002, 2004.

[Booster]

20. Same thing happened when Nixon went down - couldn't find a

solitary soul who had voted for him. hehehe

[LisaLynne]

22. Hee hee. Is it wrong that I find this funny?

Because I do.

[malaise]

24. Thw wipe out is coming

Pay back time is coming this November.

[loudsue]

25. LOL!! Just like what happened in the exit polls for election 2004?

:rofl: Poor underrepresented republicans. :rofl:

When are they going to figure it out? That dog don't hunt.

:kick:

[The Backlash Cometh]

26. So....does this mean that all those pollsters that weighed their

polls heavier to the Republican side and slanted the polls towards Bush in the last election, now have to go the other way? Only 3% of Republicans need to be polled?

Happy Days are here again....!

28. Very misleading post - please note that it is SATIRE

You left out the intro:

I have noticed a dwindling percentage of Republicans in CBS polls, probably for this very reason. I began to imagine how a CBS news poll and accompanying story might appear in the near future:

[warrens]

29. Maybe Republicans are too embarassed to admit it

If I was associated with this pack of sociopathic thugs, crooks and bumblers, I wouldn't want anyone to know, either.

[sojourner]

30. I agree with post #11... satirical posts need some indicator lest some get

an entirely wrong impression! Some folks (here as well as elsewhere) don't bother to click on links, and take statements at face value.

[specimenfred1984]

31. But It Is True, Repubocrooks Are Ashamed to Admit Who They Are

Except for the "Dead enders" and "loyalist extremists".

[iconoclastNYC]

32. Oh boy

Do whatever mental summersaults you need to do to not have to accept fact.
