Is Voting Democrat A Job ‘Americans’ Won’t Do?

This cartoon is funny (doff of the hat to Myron Pauli for much needed comic relief). But are poor immigrants solely responsible for Democratic electoral victories? It’s hard to tell from this recent Gallup poll breakdown by political affiliation, although it’s entirely possible.

An average 43% of Americans identified politically as independents in 2014, establishing a new high in Gallup telephone poll trends back to 1988. In terms of national identification with the two major parties, Democrats continued to hold a modest edge over Republicans, 30% to 26%.
