Partisan divide, or shrinking GOP? April 07, 2009 Categories: Polls by Ben Smith, POLITICO politico.com Some Pew poll analysis suggesting that Obama is an unusually partisan figure -- with sky-high approval from Democrats, and historically low support from Republicans -- drew some attention here and elsewhere yesterday. Nate Silver offers an alternative explanation for his bad Republican numbers: The Republicans, in particular, have lost quite a bit of support over the past several years; those persons who continue to identify as Republicans are a hardened -- and very conservative -- lot. Just 24 percent of voters identified as Republican when Pew conducted this survey in March, which is roughly as low as that total has ever gotten. The pollster seems open to that explanation, which -- in its political form -- is the lesson that wrecking the opposition party is preferable even to bipartisan harmony.
