2. Yes. Since January, the Rs hold a lead of about 6K in new registrations.

3. Yeah, 6000 difference in the whole state with Dems leading in new registrations weekly.

4. Politics PA: Democrats Hold 356K Voter Registration Lead Over GOP

From August 2024


As the summer rolls closer and closer to Labor Day, we decided to take a look at voter registration numbers in the Commonwealth and their potential impact in the November general election.

Democrats (3.9M) continue to hold a registration advantage over Republicans (3.55M) by approximately 356,000 voters. Those registered with no affiliation total just over one million (1.03M), while other party registrants are just under 345,000.

Democrats dominate the big cities and southeast collar counties, ceding to the GOP the other 54 counties in the state.

Democrats also hold a significant edge in registration numbers for those ages 25-44 with more than 1.34 million identifying “D” to just under 950,000 as Republicans
