This is agit-prop intended to "prove" that republicans are a shrinking minority. Were it not, it would have included a discussion of the fact that many more people these days are identifying as independent to get away from the attacks, mean-spiritedness, invective, and hatred they're exposed to if they "come out" as republican. I, for one, officially changed by registration to something else (can't remember right now) to avoid just such a pigeonhole. Heck, I may register as a democrat just so's I can cast a spoiler vote in their primaries and then turn around, vote republican in the general election and join a growing group of (supposed) democrats who are deserting the party in droves.
