Is the republican party destined to fade?

According to this blog, the republican party has a mere 8% approval rating from ages 18-29, or as Politifail says,

With a +/- of 3. The MSM still books more Republican then Democratic talking heads on the Sunday shows and anytime they bitch and moan they give them a medium to do it on. But next time you see one of them spouting off on some TV show or hear CNN talking about the "massive" teabagger party think about the fact that the Republican party is 8 (or possibly even just 5) points away from having a 0 percent approval rating from everyone in the country born after 1980. They are the party of fail, and they are done.




How might this shape the next century, when the old ideas really don't carry into the new generation? My bets are that new parties will form as old government legalities, and organizations continue to buckle and stress in an ever-evolving world. Here's to a brighter future, where appropriate government policy might better reflect not only the needs of the people, but the right temperature, soil and nutrients to make them flourish!

  1. Could it be that young people tend to the left of the spectrum? This might not be the start of a trend. But lets hope it is.

  2. That's true. I wonder if there is some data about previous generations... But I share your hope.
