Ridgewood NJ, a political earthquake is shaking up voter registration trends across the country — and Democrats are on the losing end.
According to a New York Times report released Wednesday, Democrats have seen a massive decline in voter registrations since the 2020 election, while Republicans have surged ahead.
Republicans Gain 4.5 Million Voters Since 2020
In the 30 states that track voter registration by political party, Republicans gained a net 4.5 million voters compared to Democrats between 2020 and 2024. That shift represents a dramatic reversal from just a few years ago, when Democrats led new registrations.
Back in 2018, 34% of new voter registrations went to Democrats, while only 20% went to Republicans. Today, the GOP holds the advantage across nearly every demographic — and the numbers spell long-term trouble for Democrats.
Declines Across Battleground and Blue States
The losses aren’t isolated to one region. The Times notes that Democrats fell behind Republicans in every single state with party registration, including:
-
Arizona
-
Nevada
-
North Carolina
-
Pennsylvania
These are key presidential battlegrounds — but the same trend is happening in the bluest states and the reddest states alike, highlighting a nationwide realignment.
Why Are Democrats Losing Voters?
Analysts point to several factors driving the exodus:
-
Discontent with the Democratic Party’s shift leftward, alienating moderates and independents.
-
Economic concerns, with voters seeking policies focused on wealth creation rather than redistribution.
-
Disillusionment among young and Latino voters, two groups once seen as critical to the Democrats’ future.
As of now, only 33% of Americans say they approve of the Democratic Party, according to recent polling — another indicator of waning support.
What This Means for 2024 and Beyond
With millions of voters switching sides, Democrats face an uphill battle heading into 2024 and future elections. If the trend continues, it could reshape the political map for years, giving Republicans a decisive edge in both state and national races.
One thing is clear: the voter registration collapse has become a five-alarm fire for Democrats — and Republicans are capitalizing on the momentum.
