What 2 political parties are in the US of America?
Republican and DemocraticThe five political parties and their founding dates:* Democratic party --- 1828 * Republican party --- 1854 * Libertarian party --- 1971 * Green party --------- 1984 * Constitution party - 1992I know that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson started them, and that they were classified as 'liberal' and 'conservative'.

How many registered republicans in the US?
The American political parties, including the Democratic Party and the Republican parties are actually each 50 political parties. The nature of political parties in the United States is a function of each of the 50 states. So there is a Texas Democratic party and a Nebraska Democratic party and a Republican New York party and so on. Each state constructs its own rules for political parties within the borders of that state.Unfortunately for your question not all of the states have a system that registers voters in one political party or the other. So you have what is called an "open primary." That means that a registered voter does not declare his or her party affiliation when he or she registers, but when he or she votes in the party primary.For example in Texas you could wake up on primary election day (not the general election day) and decide which party primary you wish to vote in. It is your choice. After you vote, say in the Republican Party primary your voter registration certificate is stamped "Republican." That stamp has very little meaning unless the party has another primary election in the time before you get a new voter registration card (usually each year.)And on the general election day, usually the first Tuesday in November, you can still vote for whichever candidates you choose. It is a secret ballot.The best measure for Democrats and Republicans is probably the General Election Day for President of the United States every four years. In the last election 52% voted Democratic and 47% (ironic, huh?) voted Republican.In the 2012 general election 65,907,213 persons voted Democratic and60,931,767 voted Republican.Of course, in the United States of America we do not elect our President by popular vote. What really counts is the electoral college. And that is the answer to another question.
