Demographically speaking, is the GOP's support growing *anywhere?* (Brown, Hispanics, politicians)

[Tuna Meowt]

So there's an intermittent discussion happening on another thread, and that discussion's about whether or not support for the GOP is growing among any particular demographic groups.

Let's separate out that discussion, and let's give it some actual fact-based consideration. Are there any demographic groups that are shifting their support toward the GOP, or are conservatives who make that claim just whistling past the graveyard?

I'm sure everyone has their opinions and beliefs on the subject, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm interested in what can be *demonstrated* and *proven,* hopefully with empirical data and ideally that includes links to crosstabs and methodology.

Please bear in mind that "growing" in this context means 'increase in percentage terms.' A given demographic might be increasing in size, but that doesn't mean that an increasing *percentage* of that demographic group is shifting towards supporting the GOP.

Sadly, with the exception of the fiscally sane demographic, probably not.

democrats have gained voters by offering favors to black and brown people. when they finally realize that all politicians lie, it will balance out.

As for the OP, no.

It appears the GOP is painting itself into an idealogical/demographic corner. It's all too apparent they've gone way too far when they've lost the support of a white senior citizen like me. This, after decades of supporting and voting for Republicans.

Yeah, the number of taxpayers is shrinking while the welfare class is growing by leaps and bounds. That is good for the democrats of course to have everyone on food stamps and Medicaid so they'll get votes.

[Harrier]

The fastest growing segment of the Republican Party consists of young blacks and young Hispanics.

That fact cannot be rationally disputed.

Don't hold your breath.

The rest of the developed world is moving left, and is far ahead of the US in terms of liberalism/socialism.

You think thats suddenly going to reverse? Ok.
