Katherine Clayton: Less committed Republicans did not become more interested in a potential third party. Thats bad news for any possible Republican Party offshoot, which probably wouldnt gain traction among elected officials or voters.
Instead, weaker Republicans who read about GOP conflict over the election started thinking more highly of the Democratic Party, and became less likely to view it as a threat. Their opinion toward the Democratic Party grew six percentage points more favorable, and belief that the Democratic Party threatens democracy dropped by eight percentage points.
In other words, the Republican Partys internal civil war could push some less committed Republican voters to the Democrats.
