CNN data analyst Harry Enten reported Wednesday that President Donald Trump and the Republican Party have reshaped the American electorate.
Enten highlighted how party identification has changed in the U.S. over the last three presidential election cycles.
In February 2017, shortly after Trump took office for his first term, Democrats enjoyed a 5 percentage point advantage in party identification among the electorate.

In February 2021, Democrats had gained an additional point following President Joe Biden assuming office, resulting in a net 6-point lead.
However, this month, Republicans showed a 2 percentage point advantage in party ID, meaning a net 8 percentage point shift from February 2021.
