Harry Enten reports that President Trump has significantly altered the political landscape, resulting in Republicans outnumbering Democrats for the first time in years. In previous years, Democrats held an advantage in party identification, but by February 2025, Republicans have gained a majority. Trump's approval ratings remain positive primarily due to strong support from Republicans, particularly young voters. This shift signifies not only a change in voter affiliation but also showcases a unique political strategy that defies traditional political norms as articulated by Enten.
Look at what's happened in February of 2025. Look at this: Republicans, there are more Republicans in the electorate than there are Democrats. Republican plus two, he said.
Trump's overall positive approval is thanks to Republican numbers being majorly boosted in recent years, especially among young voters.
As I said at the beginning, he's copying Frank Sinatra: doing it my way.
Donald Trump and the Republican Party have changed the electorate. They've turned some people over from being Democrats or independents to become Republicans.
