Democrats Gain Edge in Party Identification

Released: July 26, 2004

The Democratic Party has achieved a small gain in party affiliation and holds a 33%-29% edge over the GOP in Pew surveys conducted in 2004. This represents a modest shift from the two year period following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, when the Republican Party had drawn virtually even with the Democrats.

4. Harris agrees - 33 % Dem / 28% Pukies / 24% Ind

Unlike some of the other polls, The Harris Poll finds that the Democrats still retain a small lead over the Republicans in party identification, although it has declined in every decade since the 1970s. Based on over 6,000 interviews conducted by telephone last year, one-third (33%) of all adults "consider themselves" to be Democrats, 28% self-identify as Republicans and 24% as Independents.

And I know I'm not the only one.

shape, I really do. And, if not, we'll -- I'll address
the nation. But I don't see any need to right now."
