Mod: You mean to suggest that all of these fleeing former Republicans are looking for something other than the prophecies of the QAnon Shaman? Tens of thousands of voters drop Republican affiliation after Capitol riot (The Hilllink): More than 30,000 voters who had been registered members of the Republican Party have changed their voter registration in the weeks after a mob of pro-Trump supporters attacked the Capitol— an issue that led the House to impeach the former president for inciting the violence.
The massive wave of defections is a virtually unprecedented exodus that could spell trouble for a party that is trying to find its way after losing the presidential race and the
Senate majority.
It could also represent the tip of a much larger iceberg: The 30,000 who have left the
Republican Party reside in just a few states that report voter registration data, and information about voters switching between parties, on a weekly basis.
Others report monthly activity, and many states do not report granular details about those who leave one party or the other. Once more states report party registration data, the true number of Republicans who have re-registered in recent weeks may prove to be much higher.
Poll: President Biden's first approval rating 63 percent (The Hilllink): The Hill-HarrisX poll's first presidential job approval rating for Joe Biden comes in at 63 percent support among registered voters. Only 37 percent of respondents in the Jan. 21-22 survey said they disapprove of Biden's job in the White House. The survey, taken in the first two full days of his presidency, finds
Biden receiving 61 percent support when it comes to the issues of the economy, stimulating jobs and fighting terrorism. Fifty-seven percent of voters said they approve of
Biden's handling of immigration, and 60 percent say the same concerning foreign affairs.
Biden sees his strongest support on the issues of administering the government and handling the coronavirus pandemic, at 65 and 69 percent approval, respectively. A recent
Hill-HarrisX poll found majorities of voters are confident in
Biden's ability to achieve key agenda items, particularly those concerning the pandemic.
