PoliticsPa - July Registration Data Shows Independent Increase, Party Affiliation Decrease

I often read stories telling me that President Donald Trump's approval ratings are tanking, especially when it comes his bizarre approach to tariffs. But he's a rock star compared to Democrats. A recent WSJ Poll reveals that only about a third of registered voters have a favorable view of what was once considered the champion of blue-collar voters. On almost every issue, excepting healthcare and vaccines, Republicans and Trump are more trusted. 

The polling data appears to be backed up by Pennsylvania's voter registration statistics. According to PoliticsPA, the number of registered Democrats has declined statewide since October. They have lost nearly 4.2% of their registered voters. 

Is this a cause for celebration among Republicans? No. They've lost 1.15% of their voters. 

The beneficiary of this decline in party registration has been independents. They've grown by 1.15%. 

Northampton and Lehigh Counties still have a Democratic edge, but it's wearing thin in NorCo, where the lead is just 3.8%. In Lehigh County, it is 7.9%. In Carbon County, Republicans have a 21.3% lead.

Tell us the policies of the democratic party?

So far, censorship and government propaganda news media have been able to largely hide that whole Obama/Clinton/Biden conspiracy that is looming underneath. When official Indictments fail (they will) the public’s view of Democrats will surely drop even further. The misbehavior will be impossible to keep out of daily conversation.

Watch for even more voter registration changes to Independent.

Peace talks instead of more endless wars, strong economy, shutting the border (it took five minutes). Promises made. Promises kept. I'm an libertarian/Independent who doesn't like blowhard Trump at all. But you can't argue with his success on the major issues. Democrats are as old and stale as the fake Covid shots and riotously worthless paper masks they forced everyone to wear lest they die. When most had finally had enough overreaching government, Democrats campaigned on giving us more. What a dead party.

Wait. time is coming when the youngsters will see how the Republicans screw the poor, the elderly and the needy but take care of the wealthy. The cuts that the Trumpers are making didn't impact their present situation as it pertains to health and social programs. It's coming and when it does, they will wake up. Unfortunately, it will be too late. We are losing our allies and making more enemies than friends. It will take time, unfortunately, the impact of all these cuts will hit home.

what do democrats expect when they think men should be in women sports and in their locker rooms. And human traffickers should be visited by sitting US senators. The party is gone

The hatred from the Democrats appears to be intense. Like children who didn't get their own way, they make mistakes in their tantrums. Case in point - Stacy Garrity (according to the Dems) voted for the Big Beautiful Bill. Neat feat if our State Treasurer can now moonlight as a US Congresswoman.

No one hurt the American people more than the democratic party.

Restrict? Primaries are for chumps. Last time I checked, Joe Biden won every single primary, including PA, and Kamala Harris won zero. Dems went to the polls thinking their primary vote actually mattered. Their votes weren't restricted. Their votes were thrown in the trash. Pretty funny, actually.

I switched, because both parties continued to sicken me, and I didn't want to be associated with either in any way.

That's a lie, and one that ABC and George Snuffleofogus paid $14million for spreading. He paid $1 million, personally, in the form of a donation to Trump's POTUS library. Yet, Biden's daughter Ashley claimed in her diary that Joe showered with her, which she called, "inappropriate." You OK with that? Meanwhile, Bill The Horny Hick Clinton made 28 trips to Epstein's Pedo Island. A lot of Democrats no longer are, apparently. Good for them. Shame on you.

Several days ago Bill Maher reluctantly admitted that he was dead
wrong when he previously predicted that the Trump Tariffs would fail.
Apparently Maher is getting different information than Lehigh Valley Rambling.

Ah, not really a cult. Just a group of people who understands where to read about what’s really going on in federal politics. Dozens of higher level political names are vulnerable to criminal charges. Looks like those charges WILL happen this year.

What about the 900,000+ Americans who died due to Covid and tRump denying it and denying and more denial that it was like 2 people from China? Oh and he golfed at taxpayer expense while people were dying and still denied it! GFY...

That's what Kamala said about young voters. She called them dumb and lazy. They voted for Trump instead. You're still calling them names. That's awesome.

There is no factual data that shows Dems set out to hurt people, however, the Head MAGA and his followers chant death to Dems ….including hanging the former VP during Jan 6th….takes a lot of nerve to say Dems hurt people, while MAGAs promote hate and division.

Trump continuously condemns democrats, just recently stating that he hates democrats and democrats hate this country, and he lies about former and current democratic leaders, and has even gone so far as to say that democrats the enemy from within. Trump also seeks personal information on voters from voter roles. As a result, people are afraid to register as democrats. They are not just afraid of trump, but also overzealous magaites, not to mention masked federal agents. In effect, he is rigging future elections through fear.

There's no longer a Democrat Party, its now a Socialist party

Bernie, due to your blind ideology, you'll never get the appeal of Trump. He single-handedly inverted both Parties, and despite everything thrown at him, is by far, the most consequential Political figure in my lifetime.

The Democratic Party is leaderless and their only message is hate Trump.

He’s the worst thing to ever happen to our democracy and political system. He’s appealed to the haters and divided the country as never before. It’s like leaving under Nazi Germany with ICE has gestapo. Pray that these newly registered independents turn things around

Trump has destroyed the democratic party.

Independent's should not be allowed to vote in the Primary Election as a Republican nor they should they be allowed to vote as a Democrat unless it is in the General Election. Put up your own candidate in your respective party. As a independent you stand for nothing. You want the best of two worlds and will sell your soul to get it. I can just see Trump now, asking the Independents to support the weakest Democratic candidate so he can be king and easily win in his general. What a dipstick!

Trump destroys everything he touches….
He ruined the performing Arts center, he ruined the Rose garden, he ruined the elegance of the WH with his gauche gold finishing, he ruined voter trust with his lies, he is a stumbling old selfish wrecking ball

I agree 100% I'm an independent, and I've never seen a more successful 6 months of any President in my lifetime.

The Dems are on life support; they have no leader or ideas except to hate Trump.

Obama, even though I initially supported him, started all this division. Gave a good speech, but was very devisive.
