But the way religion shapes party attachment has changed. Today, the best way to sort the population of white voters is not by which religion they belong to, but by how religious they are. Since at least the s, black Americans have overwhelmingly preferred the Democrats.
White people have moved toward the Republicans. Historically, white Catholics and Jews were more likely to be Democrats than Protestants.
But the gap has shrunk as Catholics have moved to the center. The number of religious white Americans is plummeting. In the long term, that spells disaster for Republicans.
The party knows this. Or at least it should. After Republicans lost the election, the party leadership commissioned a report on how to move forward. One answer was clear: appeal to nonwhite and less conservative voters. But in the years since, the Republicans — led by Mr. Trump — have doubled down on white identity politics and seem to believe that their path to a majority is through gerrymandering, voter suppression or attempts to skew the census.
College-educated white people have left the Republican Party over the past decade, but higher-income voters are, as ever, disproportionately Republican. Wealthier people tend to be more educated, too, but now these forces push in opposite directions. That complicates the traditional relationship between Democrats and the white working class.

The s saw younger voters break for the Democrats, possibly because of opinions on the Iraq war.

Relative to the viewpoint of the speaker chair of this assembly, to the right were seated nobility and more high-ranking religious leaders. To the left were seated commoners and less powerful clergy. Seating positions starting in the French National Assembly closer to the center likewise became associated with less extreme views. Center politics favor moderate positions. People holding these views are often called moderates. Political independents often fall at the center of the political spectrum.
Center-left refers to people, groups, or views that are just to the left of the political center in a country. Center-right refers to being a little bit to the right of center. In the US, people often use left as a shorthand for the Democratic Party and right as a shorthand for the Republican Party.
But keep in mind that politics is always far more complicated than the labels we give to it—and each other. Best not to let things get all … upside down, no? Do you know why Democrats and Republicans are donkeys and elephants? After you read this, you will! Feedback Tired of Typos?
