The number of people who describe themselves as Republican has slightly declined since the last presidential election.
The polling firm Gallup, which tracks party affiliation monthly, says that those identifying as Republicans has shrunk by two percentage points since 2020. In February 2020, 30 percent of those Gallup polled said they were Republicans, while 29 percent considered themselves Democrats.
As of February 2024, when the latest data is available, 28 percent say they are Republicans, while 30 percent say they are Democrats, showing Republican’s base declining. Newsweek contacted the Republican National Committee (RNC) by email to comment on this story.
To be fair they could be legitimately honest there. If I was asked that question I wouldn’t claim Democrat because I’m further left than the old guard Dems and the party at a national level. I would never vote republican.
