True proportion: Democrats: 42% Republicans: 47%

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

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."
