A recent Pew Research Center survey has revealed a significant shift in party identification among U.S. voters, indicating a '50-50 AMERICA' with a near-even split between those who identify as Democrats and Republicans. The survey findings show that 49% of registered voters now lean towards or identify as Democrats, while 48% align with the GOP. This marks a notable change from the period between 2017 and 2021, during which Democrats held a discernible edge over Republicans. The closing gap reflects a broader trend of political realignment in the run-up to the 2020 election and suggests a more evenly divided electorate moving forward.
In the run-up to the 2020 election, more voters across the country identified as Democrats than Republicans. That gap has shrunk, and the U.S. now sits almost evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, a new report shows. https://t.co/WFAvX7PWBq
