True proportion: Democrats: 42% Republicans: 47%

Did I read this wrong? I’m almost certain there are more registered Democrats than Republicans.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah, those numbers would need to be reviewed. The total percentage of Americans with an affiliation to any party is 47%. This smells like they used voting percentages (somehow?) for their numbers. Democrats do have more registered voters.

I wonder how many are actually independent but vote Democrat. That's what I've done since 2016 because I don't want to register myself on an "enemies list."
