What types of people support Republicans and what types support Democrats?
That is a good question, and a lot depends on how you ask it. This is because in the United States the two national parties are actually 50 state parties and territories like Puerto Rico. And each state has its own rules as to who is a member of a party. In Texas, for example, you declare your party membership by voting in that party's primary election. If you vote in the Republican primary, you are a Republican, and if you vote in the Democratic Party's primary you are a Democrat. And you can change when the next primary rolls around. But other states, such as New York, Nevada and California, require you to register as a Democrat or as a Republican or other party, including the Green Party, the Libertarian Party or even register as non-partisan (an independent.) They do have hard statistics on who considers themselves as a Democrat or a Republican, but also have good evidence that folks go out and vote whatever way they wish. In the 2008 Presidential Election you could say that Barack Obama, the Democrat, received 69,456,897 votes and John McCain, the Republican received 59,934,814 votes. But this does not tell the tale effectively either. A lot of American voters consider themselves as independents. That is, the are not a member of either party. Or any party. My own estimation is that about 39% of voters consider themselves Democrats and about 35% of people consider themselves Republicans. The rest (26%) are independents. How do I come to these numbers? By watching polls on politicians who are 'obviously guilty' of some naughty act. Those are the numbers that usually turn up as supporters of the 'obviously guilty' one. The true believers. And that, I think, is the best way of telling how many people support which side.

What major political change happened in the US as a result of the Great Depression?
The New Deal programs of FDR also created a liberal political alliance made up of labor unions, Blacks and other ethnic and religious minorities, intellectuals, the poor, and some farmers. These groups became the backbone of the Democratic Party for decades following the Depression. The South became known as "the Solid South" because it always voted for the democratic candidate. In some areas of the South, the Republican Party did not even register voters who were Republican and there was no Republican organization. This situation lasted until 1964 when Barry Goldwater was nominated as the Republican candidate for president. He received much support in the South.
