In an ideological party breakdown, Gallup found that most moderate Democrats believe the party should move toward the middle while only 30 percent of liberal Democrats shared the same belief.
Like moderate Democrats, most moderate Republicans are the voters who believe the party should shift toward the middle of the political spectrum.
Approximately 28 percent say the party should become more conservative but that is 12 percentage points lower than it was in 2021 – indicating Republican voters are content with the election results and the country’s direction.
A staggering 50 percent of moderate Republicans said they think the party should become more moderate.
While Democrats saw an increase in party support in the 2020 presidential election and 2022 midterm elections they quickly lost momentum leading up to the 2024 presidential election where President Donald Trump picked up every swing state to secure the White House.
