Partisan Trends: Number of Unaffiliateds Jumps to Highest Total Since 2007
In January, the number of Americans identifying themselves as Democrats
fell another tenth-of-a-percentage point. Now the number of Democrats
is at the lowest level recorded in more than seven years of monthly
tracking by Rasmussen Reports.
However, in January, the number of Republicans in the country dropped by nearly two percentage points.
Currently, 35.4% of American adults view themselves as Democrats. That’s down from 35.5% a month ago and 36.0 two months ago. Prior to last month, the lowest total ever recorded for Democrats was 35.9%, a figure that was reached twice in 2005. See the History of Party Trends from January 2004 to the present.
The number of Republicans is now down to 32.3%. The number of
Republicans in the country has stayed between 32.3% and 34.05% in every
month for the past 18 months.
