Republicans Increasingly Isolated on Major Issues

Greg Sargent: “One thing that remains striking about our politics right now is the degree to which public opinion among Republicans is increasingly isolated and drifting away from the rest of the electorate. You see this on pretty much every major issue facing the country.”

“All of which is to say that there seems to be little incentive for GOP
politicians, particularly ones who are insulated from national opinion
in safe districts with a lot of GOP base voters, to compromise with
Obama or Democrats.”
