Republicans saw a larger number of voters identify with the party at the end of 2021, compared to the start of the year, while fewer voters leaned toward the Democrats, according to Gallup surveys.
The GOP started the year with 40 percent of those surveyed identifying as “Republican” or “lean Republican,” a deficit of 9 percent from voters who identified with the left. However, as the year wore on, more voters began identifying with the right, while a lower number identified as “Democrat” or “lean Democratic.”
