Rasmussen: Record Number of Republicans

Tuesday, September 4th, 2012 and is filed under News

If you remember one ominous sign of the 2008 election was the dramatic decline in the number of self-identified and registered Republicans in the country.  This year, Rasmussen is seeing a reverse of that trend:

During August, 37.6% of Americans considered themselves Republicans. That’s up from 34.9% in July  and 35.4% in June. It’s also the largest number of Republicans ever recorded by Rasmussen Report since monthly tracking began in November 2002. The previous peak for the GOP was 37.3% in September 2004.
