If one looks at questions 89A and 89B You’ll see only 23% of independents have a favorable view of the Democratic Party, 67% unfavorable. This is combining the very and somewhat favorable and unfavorable. The Republican Party is view favorably by 22% of independents, unfavorably by 68%.
https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/anoy7rtkl2/econTabReport.pdfI would say equally disgusting is a fact and not just something the GOP made up. You’ll find in poll after poll the numbers remain within 5 points up or down on independents view of the two major parties at least going back to 2006. Perhaps the reason they’re independents is they don’t view the world, the world of politics through deep red or blue colored glasses. I would add, most independents don’t trust either party, they don’t trust their elected officials. They’re tired of being lied to and being led around like some puppy on a leash.
Isn’t ironic that it’s the democrats pushing harder and harder to get more of these non-interested in politics folks, these ignorant’s to get out and vote. For some reason Democrats have come to believe that a high voter turnout helps their party which is totally B.S.
