This stood out to me:

The poll comes also as Republicans hold a slight partisan edge over Democrats, which shows that 45% of Americans are Republican or lean-Republican, while 42% are Democrat or lean-Democratic, per Gallup.

That’s a change from previous years, including in 2022, when an equal number of Americans said they consider themself a Republican or a Democrat.

Democrats held a partisan edge over Republicans in 2020, 2018 and 2016, per the average of Gallup party affiliation polls from those years.

      That makes sense, it would probably be part of the reason why DeSantis’s former backers are dropping off. He severely overestimated how much the average Conservative cares about “wokeness,” and it bit him in the ass.

        Yeah it works on his base but when you enter the larger voting population, you need to bring more than a culture war.

        Although, I say that and how Trump is there bewilders me. I don’t know how anybody is a republican, actually.
