Voters Who Identify As Independents Skyrocket—As Democrats And Republicans Dwindle

Im sorry you feel the way you do,,,,,,,,What you tell me and what is true or opinion, are 2 different things....Ill stick to my opinion and the facts I present,

I think people are sick of politics as usual, I believe independents and moderates of both parties make up more than the extremes of both parties, so a more centrist leader makes sense.......

Thanks,

independents

The percentage of U.S. adults who said they identify as Democrats fell to 27%, according to the survey of more than 12,000 U.S. adults in 2023, representing a drop from 30% in 2020, 31% in 2016 and a record 36% in 2008 and 1998.

Participants in the survey were asked if they consider themselves Democrats, Republicans or independents.

That low ties the percentage of Americans who identify as Republicans, at 27%, marking the first time since 2005 that the same number of U.S. adults identify with the two political parties.

Republican identification fell slightly from 2022, when 28% of Americans considered themselves members of the GOP, though Republican identification has remained steady for nearly 15 years, hovering between 25% and 29% since the 2008 election.

Independents, meanwhile, have continued to rise, tying a high of 43% last year, according to the Gallup telephone survey, over the 41% of adults that identified as independent in 2022, 42% in 2021 and 39% in 2020—independent identification also reached 43% in 2014.
