Gallup Poll: Percentage of Americans who identify as Dems at 22-year low

The Hill reports:

New numbers from Gallup show that just 31 percent of Americans identified themselves as Democrats in 2010 — a five-point decrease from a year ago and the lowest percentage measured by the polling firm in 22 years.

As Democratic identifiers decreased, the percentage of those calling themselves independents jumped to 38 percent — outpacing Democrats by seven points and Republicans by nine points.

I guess not everyone lives in Madison , Wis. or is a government worker.
