Voters have left the Democratic Party en masse over President Joe Biden’s tenure, according to new data shared on X.
Overall, Republicans saw a net gain of nearly 400,000 registered voters since November 2020, while Democrats have hemorrhaged nearly 3 million. Democrats suffered net losses in every state except California ( where they gained a net 71,058) – a state which only Democrats could think is heading in the right direction.
The Democrats have seen major losses in Florida (-979,487) and New York (-410,386), as well as the swing state of Pennsylvania (-329,289). Pennsylvania, which holds 19 Electoral College votes, has also witnessed losses for the GOP albeit on a much smaller scale (-1,466).
Republicans have seen gains in California (+148,823), Florida (+151,456), and New Jersey (+152,918), though the margins aren’t enough to flip California or New Jersey by a long shot. Both the GOP and the Democrats have lost around 130,000 registered voters in Colorado, while New York (-49,674) and Massachusetts (-61,042) have been particularly unfriendly to Republicans – though that’s hardly a surprise.
The swing states also tell an interesting tale. The Democrats have lost around 260,000 registered voters in Arizona and Nevada, but these have not necessarily translated into a pro-Republican electorate with the GOP losing just over 75,000 registered voters in these two crucial states. Still, the result is a net positive for Republicans.

Indeed, if the majority of voters are dissatisfied with their choices, then we could be in for an interesting election.
