Republican voters are overwhelmingly white, though less so than in the past. About eight in 10 (79%) are non-Hispanic white, down from 93% nearly two decades ago. Still, Hispanic, Black, and Asian voters
together make up a much smaller share of Republican voters than Democrat voters (15% vs. 39%). About two-thirds (64%) do not have a four-year college degree — modestly higher than the share among all U.S. voters (60%). Overall, about half of Republican voters (51%) are white adults without a college degree, compared to 38% of U.S. voters overall.
Republican voters are older than voters overall. About two-thirds of
Republican voters (65%) are 50 and older, compared with 59% among all voters. Just 8% of Republican voters are under 30.
Around eight in 10 Republican voters (81%) identify with a Christian denomination, compared with 67% of all registered voters. The largest group is white evangelical Protestants, who make up 30% of
GOP registered voters. White evangelicals make up a far smaller share of U.S. voters overall (17%).
Large majorities of Republican voters are confident that Donald
Trump can make good decisions on key policies, but many have reservations about his personal conduct. At least eight in 10 say they
are very or somewhat confident that the former president can make good decisions about economic policy (91%), immigration policy (89%), foreign policy (86%), and abortion policy (80%). However, only about a quarter (26%) like the way he conducts himself personally.
Most Republicans say the stakes of the 2024 presidential election
are high. About three-quarters (73%) say it really matters who wins. Just 5% say it doesn’t.
Republicans overwhelmingly see illegal immigration as one of the
top problems facing the country. Seventy-eight percent say it’s a very big problem in the country today, far higher than all U.S. adults (51%).
About six in 10 (61%) say undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States should not be allowed to stay legally, up 19 points since 2020.
Republicans are more divided over abortion than Democrats. About six in 10 (57%) say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, while 41% say it should be legal in all or most cases.
