3 Charts Sum Up Today’s Democratic Party Identity

These great charts from a new Survey Center on American Life analysis really capture where the Democratic Party is right now. (Survey Center on American Life)

Progressive influence: The party is perceived to have veered far left of the average American (this is also reflected in polls showing voters viewed Kamala Harris as more radical than Donald Trump).

No longer blue collar: The share of Americans who say Democrats represent the poor and middle class has declined sharply since 1990.

• On the other hand, the GOP’s biggest decline has been in the percentage of Americans who view Republicans as the party of the rich.

• Meanwhile, Democrats have overtaken the GOP as the party of the college-educated.

Feminized: With unmarried women as their strongest demographic and young women increasingly voting Democrat, the party’s future is becoming more female-driven.
