Democrats Regain Advantage in Party Affiliation

[Harry Dresden]

People are angry because Democrats are seen as not fighting hard enough against what's going on. But what we see in this forum is a bunch of Republicans repeating something, trying to create a narrative. Just yesterday I saw stories about Republicans getting slammed in Republican districts in town hall. And maybe in the midterms, people will listen to democrats as they propose plans instead of letting Republicans set the narrative as they whine over nd ver Democrats talk about how they are trying to end democracy. I say this because I read the Harris plan, I heard her speak about her plan, yet the narrative was that she didn't have a plan and all she said was Trump is bad.

lol.....

Another landslide in the wings?

The Democratic Party is hemorrhaging voters long before they even go to the polls.

Of the 30 states that track voter registration by political party, Democrats lost ground to Republicans in every single one between the 2020 and 2024 elections — and often by a lot.

That four-year swing toward the Republicans adds up to 4.5 million voters, a deep political hole that could take years for Democrats to climb out from.
The stampede away from the Democratic Party is occurring in battleground states, the bluest states and the reddest states, too, according to a new analysis of voter registration data by The New York Times. The analysis used voter registration data compiled by L2, a nonpartisan data firm.

As Republicans here continue repeating a narrative not based in reality, the truth is that more people are leaning Democrat. That's what the same Gallup Poll Repubicans here have used to me claims about the death of the Democratic Party says.

Shift occurs even as Democratic Party favorability falls to record low

Americans’ party affiliation has flipped back toward the Democratic Party after the Republican Party held advantages for most of 2023 and 2024. However, these changes in party preference are occurring at a time when the Democratic Party’s image is at an all-time low and slightly worse than that of the Republican Party. Further, Americans are no more likely to believe Democrats are better than Republicans at managing the federal government or bringing about changes the country needs.

Shifts in party affiliation away from the ruling party have occurred in the first year of most recent presidential administrations. The current movement in party preferences is primarily driven by a greater share of political independents saying they lean toward the Democratic Party.

Party Preferences Shift in Second Quarter​

In the second quarter of 2025, an average of 46% of U.S. adults identified as Democrats or said they are independents who lean toward the Democratic Party, while 43% identified as Republicans or said they lean Republican.

That three-percentage-point Democratic advantage compares with a tie between the two parties in the first quarter of 2025, after a four-point Republican lead in the fourth quarter of 2024. Until now, the Republican Party had led or tied in most quarters since 2023.

Funny from the party that calls anyone racist. That disagrees with them.

Trump is not being impacted by anything ut f his control. Trump made the agreement with the Taliban to leave Afghanistan and stuck Biden with the withdrawal. The reality here is that trump won by 1.5 percent and Republicans barely have a majority in the House. These idiots here have repeated a bunch of lies as if Republicans are a huge majority nd Trump won the election in a bigger landslide than Reagan. Any AMERICAN paying attention could have told you this was how things are going, but you love Trump so you won't listen.

You forget that Biden scrapped Trump's plan, and made his own. Which was a complete failure.

 

[jknowgood]

We will. Your tears make us happy.

And their constant crying over Trump.

Typical of the desperate left's attempt at gaining some credibility in a world where they always support the wrong issues they leave out the part where Gallup says " shift occurs as democrat favorability reaches a new low" . No surprise here.
