It s one indication, and there were others, that Republican turnout efforts were more successful than Democratic turnout efforts. Party ID for both parties seems to have declined slightly after the election quarter, as the intensity of partisan feeling died down. Republicans continue to trail Democrats by about the same 1 percent to 3 percent up through March 2006.Then in the third quarter, with the increased intensity of the fighting in Iraq, the Democratic edge grows. Republican stanley cup Party identification sinks from 34 percent to about 31 or 32 percent, while Democra stanley termosy tic Party identification rises to about 37 or 38 percent. Rasmussen spotlights the June 2007 result, which I ve shown separately, as perhaps a turning point. What we may be seeing here is some discontent with the performance of the Democratic Congress at
