Number of Republicans in U.S. Increases in December to Two-Year High
The number of Americans who consider themselves to be Republicans jumped nearly two percentage points in December to 34.2%. That’s the largest market share for the Republican brand in nearly two years, since January 2006 (see history from January 2004 to present).

At the same time, the number of Democrats fell to 36.3%. That’s down a point compared to a month ago (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america_archive/partisan_trends/partisan_identification_37_4_democrat_32_5_republi can). During 2007, the number of Democrats has ranged from a low of 35.9% in July to a high of 37.8% in February.
Good News Here (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/party_affiliation/partisan_trends)
It represents a dramatic change from the previous five months when the gap favored Democrats by a margin between 4.5 and 4.9 percentage points each and every month.
It remains to be seen whether the Republican gains can last.
Lasting is the key...!!
