In a concerning development for Democrats, voter registration trends are shifting away from the party in crucial battleground states.
The situation is especially grim in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, where Republicans have made significant gains.
These states were critical in 2020 and are expected to be equally decisive in 2024.
In Pennsylvania, Democrats have lost nearly 300,000 registered voters since 2020, while Republicans have gained around 70,000.
Independent and unaffiliated voters have increased by about 83,000.
According to Berwood Yost, director of the Center for Opinion Research at Franklin & Marshall College, these shifts are driven by widespread disenchantment with the Democratic Party’s leadership in Washington.
“People feel really negatively about the Biden presidency,” Yost remarked.
North Carolina presents a similar picture.
The Democrats’ voter registration advantage has plummeted from 393,000 in 2020 to a mere 130,000 in 2024.
Meanwhile, Republicans are not only holding their ground but expanding their voter base.
In Arizona, a state that President Biden narrowly won in 2020, Republicans have more than doubled their voter registration advantage, growing from 130,000 in 2020 to 259,000 in 2024.
Constantin Querard, an Arizona-based Republican strategist, attributes this growth to the GOP’s grassroots efforts.
“The Republican Party gets credit for actually going out and doing the work on the ground that needs to be done,” Querard stated, noting that Republican voter registration nationwide has surged by 1.2 million people since 2022, while Democratic registrations have dropped by 800,000.
In Nevada, although Harris still holds a lead over Trump in polling averages, the Democratic voter registration advantage has also eroded.
In 2020, Democrats had a 79,000-voter advantage, but by 2024, that number has shrunk to just 29,000.
Recent data shows Republicans gaining more registrations than Democrats in Clark County, Nevada’s most populous area, for the first time in recent history.
This has left Democrats vulnerable in a state Biden carried by a slim margin of 33,500 votes in 2020.
In response to these challenges, the Harris campaign has attempted to pivot to the center on key issues like fracking and tax policy, especially in swing states.
However, it may not be enough to stem the tide of disaffected voters.
As older Democratic voters pass away and former “Reagan Democrats” continue to shift their allegiance to the GOP, the once-solid Democratic voting base in the Rust Belt and other industrial areas is rapidly crumbling.
Yes, Bidumb and Whorris are both disasters; morally, politically, and every other important category. But we need to understand who has been running the White House and government since Joe moved into the “peoples house”. That would be none other than Barack “Barry The Fairy” Obama and his sidekick Eric Holder.
