Repugs can forget about Red States too |
The poll was commissioned by the non-partisan Center for Rural
Strategies, a Whitesburg, Ky., group trying to attract candidate
attention to rural issues.
Republican political consultant Bill Greener of Greener and Hook also
participated in the design and analysis of the survey.
"Republicans are vastly underperforming among rural Americans,"
Greener said in response to the survey results.
.......................................................................................................
Forty-six percent of the survey respondents indicated they'd vote for
an un-named Democratic candidate for president if the election were
held today; 43 percent favored a Republican.
That's a statistical dead heat, given the poll's margin of error of
plus or minus 3.46 percent.
The numbers reflect a plunge in Republican support among rural voters.

Poll: Rural Vote No Longer a Lock for Republicans
by Howard Berkes
A new national poll indicates rural Americans are no longer reliably
Republican, and the Bush administration's conduct of the war in Iraq
seems mainly to blame.
People from the nation's smallest places had the biggest impact in the
last two presidential elections.
President Bush's dominance in rural counties is credited with giving
him his winning margins in both 2000 and 2004.
But the new survey, of 804 likely voters living beyond cities and
suburbs, indicates that the Republican formula for winning
presidential elections is losing a key component.
"I think there are two big headlines out of this poll," says Anna
Greenberg of the Democratic polling firm of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner
Research.
"The first is 'Republican Collapse in Rural Areas.' And the second is
'Rural is the Battleground in 2008."

That wasn't even a "nice try", Numbesis. In fact, it was downright feeble.
Here's a little problem that even a logic-deprived right-tard should be able
to figure out: If the so-called "red states" are actually gaining in
population, and the so-called "blue states" are losing in population as you
say, then where do you suppose the additional people in the "red states" are
coming from? And where do you suppose the lost people from the "blue
states" are going? See that trickle of little blue men? Those are
Democrats in migration, turning your "red states" bluer with each passing
day. Not that it's necessary to migrate to achieve this, because the
brain-dead monkey that's been occupying the White House for the past six and
a half years has already done a marvelous job of turning millions of your
little red men into little blue men.

Except that the red States aren't red anymore. Less than half or the rural
population support the Republicans now compared to the over 80% who voted for
Bush in the last two elections.
With their picks being Ruddy, the over the hill war prisoner, and that Morman
guy, I'd say were going to have either a Black Man or a Woman in the Whitehouse
come next election.
Yaaay!
