Pew Research Center’s political typology provides a roadmap to today’s fractured political landscape. It organizes the public into nine distinct groups, based on an analysis of their attitudes and values. Even in a polarized era, the 2021 survey reveals deep divisions in both partisan coalitions.
About a third of Republicans (32%) say they would not like Donald Trump to remain a national political figure for many years to come.
There is a wide partisan split on the fairness of the House committee’s probe.
Just 9% of the public says it will be less than six months before most public activities operate about as they did before the outbreak.
About six-in-ten Americans (62%) say they favor raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, including 40% who strongly back the idea.
Republicans are far more likely than Democrats to say increased attention to the history of slavery and racism is bad for the country.
Most supporters of Donald Trump and Joe Biden report having a lot of friends who share their political preferences.
A 56% majority of voters now say they feel hopeful about the state of the United States, up from 47% in June.
