Republicans: The Party Of The Ignorant Southern Redneck

The latest DailyKos polling makes it more clear than ever that the Republicans have become a regional party with no significant support outside of the south.

“According to this tracker, the GOP has a net favorability of +14 in the South. In the rest of the nation, their “next-best” region is the West, where the GOP stands at a net favorability of -60.”

That’s pretty huge disparity. But perhaps even more telling are the favorability ratings for the President:

Northeast: 80%
Midwest: 60%
West: 57%
South: 25%

25%!?! Are you kidding me? And when you consider that there are a lot of black people in the south (and Obama has 86% favorability among black people) you have to wonder what his favorability is among white people in the south.

These numbers make it clear: The Republicans are the party of the ignorant southern redneck. That’s what they’ve become and they show no signs of ever being anything more than that ever again.
