According to https://news.gallup.com/poll/654560/quarterly-party-affiliation.aspx

Quote :

" In politics, as of today, do you consider yourself a Republican, a Democrat or an independent? Republican: 25% Democrat: 30% Independent: 45% If independent, other party, unsure or no answer: As of today, do you lean more to the Democratic Party or the Republican Party? Republican/Republican leaner: 39% Democrat/Democratic leaner: 50% "

seems this result is mostly about Independents (read moderate) in a typical midterm swing cycle being forced to choose between a giant douche and a turd sandwich rather than half of Americans suddenly becoming DSA members or donating subscribers of Assigned Media
