Now anyone who follows me as I follow this particular poll probably can see that the numbers bounce around from week to week. It probably depends on the panel of respondents who get picked and has some variability.

But there are a couple of constants.

As bad as the GOP has done with white women and with white men with college degrees, it seems from multiple weeks of seeing this poll that the GOP is also having some issues with white men.

The Democrats seem to be having issues with black voters.

Not sure why for either.

But if you boil it down for group, comparing what this particular poll said about what people think about the two parties since November 2nd, 2020 until this week, you get, by group:

All voters
- GOP dropped 11 points (now -25 net favorable)
- Dems dropped 6 points (now -10 net favorable)

Men
- GOP dropped 20 points (now -29 net favorable)
- Dems dropped 3 points (now -18 net favorable)

Women
- GOP dropped 6 points (now -24 net favorable)
- Dems dropped 6 points (now -1 net favorable)

White Men w/no Degrees
- GOP dropped 37 points (now -26 net favorable)
- Dems no change (now -39 net favorable)

White Men w/Degrees
- GOP dropped 18 points (now -31 net favorable)
- Dems gained 11 points (now -11 net favorable)

White Women w/no Degrees
- GOP dropped 11 points (now -3 net favorable)
- Dems dropped 2 points (now -24 net favorable)

White Women w/Degrees
- GOP dropped 12 points (now -34 net approval)
- Dems dropped 2 points (now +3 net approval)

Black voters
- GOP gained 2 points (now -53 net approval)
- Dems dropped 26 points (now +29 net approval)

Hispanic voters
- GOP gained 11 points (now -13 net approval)
- Dems dropped 2 points (now +15 net approval)

Don't know the reasons for any of this or how things will trend in the future. But this is what the numbers say this week in this particular poll.
