Underreported Story

Lost in the DDBMSOWN crowd is this little item on political party strength.
It is not good news for the Democrats.
According to Rasmussen Reports, the numbers showed the Democrats ahead by a high of 10.1% over Republicans in May. Now, in the dog days of August, that has dropped to 7.6% lead for the Democrats.
What gives? Should the 10.1% advantage be growing for the Dems? And, where will these people go who are no longer identifying themselves as Democrats.
To the Republicans, of course.
Radio talker Rush Limbaugh credits the infamous Operation Chaos having something to do with the changing numbers.
Now, the numbers are not backing that up Mr. Limbaugh's claim at this point, but I think that he may be right as the election gets closer and both parties ramp up their GOTV efforts.
The glaring fact is, where is this on the big-three networks, ABC, CBS and NBC? Even on Fox News, GOP central according to the left? Did not see this anywhere but on Rush's website.
The stark reality is that the Democrats should be taking off and it appears that they are declining. And that can be good news for the Republicans if they play their cards right.
