- People usually don't change their affiliation after they've chosen one
- Democrats and Republicans normally have a 10% defection rate
- Trump seems to be the driving force behind these defections (in both directions)
- 57% GOP strongly disagree with Trump, 32% of Dems approve
- Young Republicans are far more likely to switch parties than older Republicans or Democrats of any
age.
- Under 30 years old:
1) 23% of Republicans abandoned their party between 2015 and 2017.
2) 21% of Republicans left but returned by 2017
3) 50% remained loyal to the GOP
- The less engaged people are politically the more likely they are to switch affiliation
