According to a recent poll done by Democrats Stanley 
    Greenberg and James Carville, 43 percent of Americans 
    have warm feelings for the Republican party compared to 
    38 percent who feel the same way for Democrats. Greenberg 
    characterizes his poll's results this way: 

   "Republicans weakened in this poll . . . but it shows 
    Democrats weakening more." Greenberg says the Democrats' 
    fall is due to voters feeling that the party has "no core 
    set of convictions or point of view."
