The chickens have come home to roost. Gallup released a report yesterday on its politcal party affiliation survey of more than 350,000 U.S. adults. The results, depicted in the map above, show some very bad news for the Republicans. Nate Silver explains:
That's right: just five states, collectively containing about 2 percent of the American population, have statistically significant pluralities of adults identifying themselves as Republicans. These are the "Mormon Belt" states of Utah, Idaho and Wyoming, plus Nebraska, plus Alaska. By contrast, 35 states are plurality Democratic, and 10 states are too close to call.
