The latest Washington Post/ABC News poll reports that only 21% of Americans now self-identify as Republicans, versus 35% for Democrats and 38% for Independents. The Republican numbers have fallen significantly since the 32% recorded at the last election, and are at their lowest point since 1983. (via The Daily Dish)
On a separate (but related) matter, the Onion is now reporting that Republican senators have formed a Roman "tortoise" (testudo).
