How Can the GOP Look Good Despite the Media?
< < Go Back
As we approach the one-year anniversary of Joe Biden’s inauguration, Gallup brought some bad polling news for the Democrats.
Over 2021, Gallup found “a dramatic shift” in party identification in their surveys, “from a nine-percentage-point Democratic advantage in the first quarter (49% to 40%) to a rare five-point Republican edge in the fourth quarter (47% to 42%).”
Underline the “rare” Republican edge. Gallup notes this has only been true in four quarters since 1991. “The Republicans last held a five-point advantage in party identification and leaning in early 1995, after winning control of the House of Representatives for the first time since the 1950s,” Gallup reported. The GOP had a larger advantage only in the first quarter of 1991, after the U.S. victory in the Persian Gulf War led by President George H.W. Bush — and that obviously didn’t last.
How could these numbers happen despite the liberal tilt of the media coverage?
