Marriage Remains Key Predictor of Party Identification
Married Americans tilt Republican; unmarried Americans, Democratic
by Frank Newport
PRINCETON, NJ -- A Gallup analysis of more than 29,000 interviews
conducted in June highlights a continuing and significant marriage gap
in party identification. The percentage of all Americans who identified
as Republican in June was 28%, but is higher at 33% among those who are
married, and a lower 21% among unmarried Americans. On the other hand,
Democratic identification in June was at 35% overall, but 31% among
married Americans, and 41% among those who are not married. This
marriage gap in party identification is evident across races as well as
age groups.
