A new report reveals that the U.S. electorate is far more complex than the familiar two-party narrative suggests. The study, published divides American adults into nine distinct political groups based on their values, attitudes, and priorities, showing that partisan labels alone fail to capture the nuances of public opinion.
The report from Pew Research Center draws on a survey by 10,357 adults conducted in November 2025, using responses to 30 questions covering political, social, and cultural issues to identify clusters of shared beliefs and behaviors.
