40% of Republicans consider Russia anally?

Brad Bannon, "Trump effect: Republican support for Russia has doubled", The Hill 7/18/2018 [emphasis added]:
Times have changed and so have Republican attitudes towards Russia.
The GOP is no longer the party of Ronald Reagan. The Grand Old Party is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump Organization. NBC News just released a survey that illustrates the transition. Only 10 percent of Republican partisans saw Russia as the greatest immediate threat to the United States. Five times as many Democrats (47 percent) saw Russia as the biggest threat to American national security.
The results of a recent Gallup Poll make the same point. Since 2014, the percentage of Republicans who consider Russia anally has almost doubled from 22 percent to 40 percent.
It took me a minute to realize that that according to Gallup, 40% of Republicans consider Russian "an ally". Sometimes a space makes a big difference.

I initially read the author as "Bad Bannon." The former White House strategist?

With friends like that, who needs enemas?

This explains how they want to put an end to the investigations.
