Get On The Party Bus

Gallup's monthly poll of political party affiliations shows Democrats have increased their lead to six points over Republicans in May.

Recent Trend in Party Affiliation, 2010-2011

Gallup figures everyone likes to be on the winning side, so the better President Obama's poll numbers, the larger the gap Democrats will have in the party affiliation spread, from a general point of view.  Makes sense to me.  Still, the rend clearly shows Democrats are doing better than they were ten months ago, and have steadily been increasing the gap, especially since February.

It's a good long-term trend for the donks...if it lasts.  That will depend heavily on the economy.
