affiliation – and the combined measure of partisan identification
and leaning – has not changed substantially over the past two
decades.
However, Democrats hold a slightly larger edge in leaned
party identification over Republicans now than in 2016 or 2015.
In Pew Research Center
surveys conducted in 2017, 37% of registered voters identified as
independents, 33% as Democrats and 26% as Republicans.
When the
partisan leanings of independents are taken into account, 50% either
identify as Democrats or lean Democratic; 42% identify as Republicans
or lean Republican.
The 8-percentage-point
Democratic advantage in leaned partisan identification is wider than
at any point since 2009, and a statistically significant shift since
2016, when Democrats had a 4-point edge (48% to 44%).
The analysis in
this report draws on more than 10,000 interviews with registered
voters in 2017 and tens of thousands of interviews conducted in
previous years (see Methodology for additional detail).
There continue to be
fundamental differences in the partisan orientation of different
demographic groups, and in many cases these gaps have grown wider in
recent years. For instance, gender, generational, geographic and
educational divides are now as wide, or wider, than in Pew Research
Center surveys going back more than two decades. ... "

It’s a simple but powerful idea: We are stronger together."
