Independent voters tilt toward Democrats

Independent voters tilt toward Democrats

WASHINGTON - Michael Brooks is exactly the kind of voter the Republican Party can ill afford to lose. But in a foreboding omen for 2008, it may have already done just that.

The auto parts store worker from St. Charles, Mo., says he used to be a Republican but felt abandoned and is now an independent.

"For some reason or other, they didn't seem to be for the masses anymore," said Brooks, 59, citing a lack of help for middle-income earners. He said he voted for George W. Bush in 2000, thinking the Republican was "more middle of the road, for the people. Obviously I was incorrect."

Brooks is not alone. From coast to coast, independent voters tilt tellingly toward Democrats in their opposition to the Iraq war, their displeasure with Bush and their feeling that the country is moving in the wrong direction, according to data from recent Associated Press-Ipsos polls.

I was reading this article earlier but could not find the AP-Ipsos poll they were referencing.

If someone does not know that most all citizens of the US are tilting to the Democratic party, then they must be in a coma. The republicans have lost thousands of their registered voters and they have move to independent or Democratic. That only leaves the crazy 20 to 30 percent of voters who want an American dictator remaining in the Republic party.
