More DNC Woes: New Poll Shows Major Drop in Democratic Party Affiliation. ♬♬ What goes up must come down, spinnin’ wheel got to go round, talkin’ ’bout your troubles, it’s a cryin’ sin, ride a painted pony, let the spinnin’ wheel spin…♬♬
A new poll released Monday from Gallup showed that the four days of virtual speeches and minimal fanfare produced by the Democratic National Convention did little to shore up support for the party of Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris.
In fact, despite the glowing reviews from corporate media of the DNC and its speakers, the Gallup poll showed that Americans claiming to be Democrats or affiliated with the party dropped by two points since the same poll was conducted in June. Enthusiasm for the Republican Party, however, increased by three points, shrinking the Democratic advantage by a stunning five points as the presidential election draws ever closer.
