Partisan Trends: Democrats Fall Back to Record Low

Rasmussen Reports

In May, the number of adults identifying themselves as Democrats fell nearly one percentage point to tie the lowest level on record, while the number of Republicans and those not affiliated with either party rose by less than half a percentage point.

The percentage of Democrats increased to 36.0% in April, while the number of Republicans fell to 31.6%, the lowest level since July 2008. But May finds 35.1% identifying as Democrats, matching the previous low recorded in February, and 32.0% describing themselves as Republicans. Unaffiliated adults rose to 32.8% from 32.5% the previous month.

See the History of Party Trends from January 2004 to the present.

After declining for four straight months to the lowest levels on record, the number of Democrats increased a full percentage point to 36.2 in March, while Republicans inched up to 32.9%. This was consistent with other data showing that the health care debate heightened passions on both sides of the aisle.
