    The data cites identification as % of the total population though? And it isn’t just registration, it’s how people identify or lean. So I think this is a different source than yours. Can you share yours, since it seems to be at odds with this? Or maybe it’s just that more Is lean R

      Looks like the graph from Gallup that I cited a few months ago in this post, though this one is updated. Though you should also combine that with Gallups data here around the same period where you can see though people as a part of that survey were identifying as Dem/Dem Leaning or Rep/Rep Leaning, specific parties affiliation shows a different picture (I cited that one here).

      What I took away from that, that people that were Dem Leaning/Rep Leaning weren’t necessarily considering themselves as a part of either party but between 41 (2020) and 45% (2023) considered themselves Independent instead of identifying as an actual member of either caucus: Reps 30% (2020) and 27% (2022) vs. Dems 28% (2020) and 27% (2022).
