Although in this recent Presidential election, the nation voted Democratic, the ratio of Republicans to Democrats is quite close at 48%(R)/52%(D).

Actually, while nationwide registration numbers are hard to come by, comprehensive national surveys around party affiliation are available. They estimate that the United States is about 1/3 Republican, 1/3 Democrat, and 1/3 Independent. Naturally, this varies by year, as people's attitudes change (and the personalities each party puts up also change).

For example, a 2008 poll, there were two major questions asked: "Which Party are you Registered with?" and "Which Party do you lean towards voting for?"

  • 36% are registered Democrat
  • 28% are registered Republican
  • 52% vote or lean Democrat
  • 40% vote or lean Republican

A current 2011 poll, however, shows that while registration has not changed much, 44% now lean Democrat, with 40% leaning Republican.
