Record Republican Advantage - Florida’s Voter Registration by Party
Bottom Line: The Florida Division of Elections’ latest voter registration update is in reflecting all voter registrations as of the start of August. With the primaries behind us it’s now a sprint to the finish in Florida’s midterms. And in that sprint, there’s a first which is set to play out. Republicans leading in voter registration for the first time in any election cycle in Florida’s history. While Republican registrations first topped Democrats last November, the GOP’s momentum has only continued to grow in Florida since.
These are the changes in year-to-date voter registration information:
- DEM: -116,767 (+8,908 last month)
- GOP: +71,046 (+37,502 last month)
- NPA/Other: +83,616 (+23,012 last month)
The current breakout of registered voters looks like this...
- DEM: 34.7%
- GOP: 36.3%
- NPA/Other: 29.1%
For the second consecutive month Republicans out registered NPA’s and the Republican voter registration advantage over Democrats is now a record 230,915 voters. That’s an advantage which grew by an additional 28,594 voters over the past month alone. For comparison's sake, Democrats held a 97,215-voter advantage coming out of the 2020 Election Cycle. This supports the notion that Florida’s increasingly moving from being a purple state into a red-state territory and just in time for what’s shaping up to be a historically good midterm election cycle for Republicans.
