How many of these voters would have been registered as Republicans even a decade ago?

The Republican Party does have the look of a dying party. If the GOP isn’t dying, it is shrinking and regionalizing.

Democrats are the only functional political party in the country currently, and they have a big opening to cement their gains by passing popular policies.
