If you’re a Republican you may want to stop reading right now – or at least don’t let the kids see this! Gallup issued a new report yesterday tabulating changes in party identification across a host of subgroups between 2001 and 2009. The results? The political equivalent of a car wreck. Republicans lost ground on party identification among nearly every demographic groups, including young voters, college educated, upper income, lower income, men and women. The only groups where the GOP did not lost ground were among frequent church goers and self-identified conservatives. Political reporters and bloggers were quick to use the Gallup numbers as a chance to dance on GOP’s grave. Chris Cillizza, at Washington Post.com, wrote:
