U.S. major political party identification 1991-2024
In the last few decades, the Democratic Party has often pulled ahead of the Republican Party in terms of party identification. However, 2022 saw a shift in party identification, with slightly more Americans identifying with the Republican Party for the first time since 2011, when both parties stood at 45 percent in 2011.
These values include not only those surveyed who identified with a major political party, but also those who identified as independent, but have leanings towards one party over another.
