The % is a little misleading though. The total # of people who self- identify as Republican has also been shrinking (true with people who self-identify as democratic too). More and more people self-identify as independent. Most of the data I have looked at stop at 2023-2025 though, so who knows what it’d look like today after the fiasco this administration has been in 2026.
Republicans are still projected to get something like 40-50% of the votes next election. Given how much the Republican party is the party of Trump, pretty much every vote for a Republican is a vote for Trump. All the Republicans who opposed Trump have already been primaried out at this point.
What actual policies does the Republican party even stand for, at this point? “No new wars”? Economic responsibility? Preserving freedom and democracy? Small government? Real Christian values like helping the poor? Preserving the status quo? Free market capitalism? No, they stand for Trump and racism, and nothing else.
So while you can (rightfully) quibble about the specific % I mentioned being misleading, the underlying Trump support is huge.
