Gallup: GOP Overtakes Democrats in Voter Identification for First Time
A Gallup poll shows:
ā”ļø More Americans now lean Republican over Democrat, with 48% siding with the GOP compared to 45% with Democrats.
ā”ļø Voters trust Republicans more on key issues like the economy and immigration, seeing them as better at safeguarding prosperity and security.
ā”ļø Just 22% are satisfied with the country's direction, and President Biden's approval rating has sunk to 39%.
ā”ļø The economic index also paints a grim picture, highlighting widespread pessimism and poor conditions.

The "normal" Republican Party wants to dump MAGA. That would make MAGA "independents", would it not?

That's such a creepy pic of Walz; it looks like he's sniffing KH's hair..
A total of 2,196,365 voters were added to the Rep. and 'all other' rolls, while Dems lost 3,584,321 voters. That's a tiny drop of water in a big pond of 162.42 million registered voters. 1,348,024 are no longer listed as registered voters-so voter roll cleanup?
True, if you think nationally instead of electorally, all will depend on where or what those independent voters do, if they sit out and voted Democrat in Pennsylvania that's a net plus for the GOP, if the numbers of the states were registration is tracked holds in the Rust Belt and the South it would seem to favor the Republicans, or thats my rationale
49.1% of registered voters are between the age of 18-24 while 46% are in the 35-49 year age group. Campaigning on a 'free perks for votes' works well for our youth and they're more likely to get out and vote than other groups.
We will see but I know plenty of Boomers who feel like this is our last hurrah, they are motivated to vote like never before. As for the youth there is a certain segment that's completely apathetic to both parties again it depends on where and how many ae motivated.
The graph looked so promising until I broke it down. For example, of the 22 million registered voters in Californis 46% are Democrat with 25% being Republican. I'm not seeing any statistcal significance.
California isn't going red however what is significant is that the number is so large is likely to bleed over into neighboring states like Nevada and Arizona
Our youth are all for a socalistic administration while other age groups have become more apathetic to voting for what they perceive as lame duck candidates or have the defeatist attitude of 'why bother voting; the Dems are going to cheat another win anyway'.
Either way, I think the election results are going to make the riots of the 60's look like childs' play.

Republicans outnumbered Democrat registrations in California in what universe?
This data set has some incredulous (kinda desperate) X crap going on with it.
I'll focus on my state because I know that's total BS.

Thats all the X.com thread is pointing out the changes in voter registration since 2020
This goes by eligible voters in the state during the election cycle.
Total increase in voters registered since 2020:
1,250,376
2024:
No preference - 21.88% = 273,583
Democrat - 46.19% = 577,548
Republican - 24.73% = 309,217
I don't know about the other states, but I do know there aren't many Republicans willingly moving here to give such an absurd increase. And the ones that do switch parties, do so as they move to Texas.
This source does overall percentage change.

The share of registered voters who are Democrats (46.2%) has increased slightly since 2020 (45.3%), the year of the last presidential election. The share of Republicans (24.7%) has held steady (23.9% in 2020).
This says the share of Democrats as a percentage of the total has increased slightly more than Republicans.
So if you take total voters 20,921,513 (2020) to 22,171,899 (2024) and apply that to the rates, the increase favors democrats still. 9,477,309 democrats in 2020 vs 10,243,417 Democrats in 2024. Which is a net 766,108 Democrat increase to 476,215 for Republicans.
I don't trust this X person that doesn't cite the Gallup poll that uses VERY VERY off numbers to say something disingenuous about my state's voter registration trends.
All this does is build up a true belief Republican registration dominated the last 4 years in ALL 50 states and sets people up to be angry and disenfranchised by the reality that is far from true. It serves to sell the implausibility of a Democrat win.

If this is the case, you would think it would be reflected in other polls as well.

However, I do realize that "confirmation bias" is a hot commodity this election.
Voter Registration Changes: Nov 2020 to Jul 2024
Read a Gallup Poll story first time in decades the majority DOES NOT identify as Democrat, looking for the link and seeing if these numbers are legit.
If truewe have seen a seismic shift politically in the US, it isn't necessarily Republican but it damn sure isn't Democrat either, We could see more viable Independent candidates in the future.

Then you're smarter than me on this one because I can't figure out how they arrived at these numbers. He cites this other guy that posts graphs and looks like he's a statistician.
But his numbers aren't even close in the state I checked. It calls the rest into question.
This is the source data I found for this X post:
drive.google.com...
Did he just make it up? How does he cite incomplete data sets as sources? He could look up the actual state data?. This is like sourcing a snotty little rich kid from Connecticut who likes making pretty colored excel spreadsheets.
His data extrapolation seems flawed. Is he basing this on difference vs. expected numbers under the 2020 percentage?
I found The voter registration changes between the last election and July of this year. And he got every number wrong in CA. Even the hypothetical difference between the 2020 and 2024 percentage.
I think this source is just doing and inputting whatever.
