Most polls show that the Republican party is facing serious defections...with the lowest number of self-identified Repubs in years.
From a recent Pew poll:
Quote:
The share of voters who call themselves Republicans has declined by six points since 2004, and represents, on an annualized basis, the lowest percentage of self-identified Republican voters in 16 years of polling by the Center.

While the Dems percentage hasnt increased, they are pulling away with the self-identified Independents.
Other polls show an even wider disparity in voter party preference.
Favorable/Unfavorable opinions of:
Democrats (56/35 or 52/41 or 56/38)
Republicans (38/53 or 33/58 or 41/52)
