The other day I made a comment about obama turning democrats into Republicans. Somebody told me that it was bullshit. I've been doing a little research and it turns out it's not bullshit. Here are some stats from Gallup.
This is a list of some States and the percentage of the population that is or leans democrat.
Illinois
2008 - 55.9
2010 - 47.7
California
2008 - 52.2
2010 - 46.8
Oregon
2008 - 52.0
2010 - 47.5
Washington
2008 - 50.9
2010 - 45.3
New York
2008 - 57.2
2010 - 50.5
New Jersey
2008 - 53.2
2010 - 46.6
Massachusetts
2008 - 60.3
2010 - 52.5
Connecticut
2008 - 56.7
2010 - 50.0
Rhode Island
2008 - 60.4
2010 - 48.2

2010 - 42.7
Pennsylvania

2010 - 46.4
Even in obama's home State of Illinois there is a substantial drop in people claiming to be democrats. I don't blame them. I wouldn't tell anyone if I was a democrat...
