Is the national popularity of the Republican party because of emotional manipulation from corporate interest or is it actual Republican success/Democrat failure?

Heh, you think governorate elections have anything to do with popularity. Cute.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

Democratic President in office.
Why did Republicans lose support between 2000-2008? I mean, if we're going to cherrypick years to display information.
Isn't this a duplicate of a post from a month or two ago? The democratic party isn't losing in popularity. Gerrymandering is rising in popularity in the party that finds themselves unable to get what they want through legit popular votes.
I don't think either political parties are really considered "popular" right now.
Let's hop in our time machine, all the way back to 2006 ( the same time period for Bush as it was in 2014 for Obama): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...lections,_2006
AHEM.
Senate - Democrats +5, Republicans -6
House - Democrats +31, Republicans -30
Governor(why) - Democrats + 6, Republicans -6.
Why was the Republican party falling behind in popularity? Look at any midterm election of the second term of an 8 year president and it's the same pattern.
What? Was Alaska really that close to getting demo-governor? Judging by color.
Simple answer? Less people are voting, they simply don't give a shit anymore.
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people - Martin Luther King, Jr.
After 8 years of Democratic rule voters will want a Republican, it's a phenomena you can verify by checking history.
And that's why there were almost 20 Republicans running for the Republican nomination, they know it's their turn, it's theirs to screw up.

Well unless they become more friendly toward giapsnucs, they'll start losing Texas since our demographics are changing. Also, Texas house districts are gerrymandered to hell or we'd be sending a few more dems

Basically mid term elections are a vote of dissatisfaction for the presidents party rather than a vote of confidence for the opposite party.
Why are you trying to determine party popularity from secondary polls and elections? You know they do direct polls on this topic right?
Gerrymandered districts aren't a sign of general popularity. That being said, when the 2020 census comes out, the Republican party is going to have a hell of a time pretending to be viable.
In the short term, if voters get energized for the 2016 election you might see quite a dramatic shift away from the Republican party. After all they have a lot to lose now.
TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.
