New polling shows Republican voters oppose party platform changes that would eliminate the pro-life and traditional marraige stances and would weaken the party’s position on illegal immigration.
Sixty-three percent of Republican and conservative Decline to State voters oppose the party platform ‘reforms’. More than 58% say they approve of a new party, the Conservative Party, that would be founded on traditional Republican principals. And fifty-percent of Republican voters would also consider joining a newly formed Conservative Party in California if that option was available.

These polling numbers clearly indicate that Republican voters want their party to remain true to it’s conservative roots and that there is a significant element among Decline to State voters who self-identify as conservatives and hold similar values.
