(also the registration was that of 30 states)

Just in case anyone is confused, like I was for awhile.

I notice when Gallup additionally asked independents and others about their leanings, then

In politics, as of today, do you consider yourself a Republican, a Democrat or an independent? (If independent, other party, unsure or no answer: As of today, do you lean more to the Democratic Party or the Republican Party?)
Shown are % party identifiers + leaners

From 2020 to 2024 Republican/Republican leaner increased from 43% to 46%,

while Democrat/Democrat leaner decreased from 48% to 45%.

The 2025 numbers will be very interesting when they come out.
