Party loyalty declined between 1950 and 1980, with less voters strongly identifying with a party, and those who did often voting for the other party.

However, as white Southern Conservatives have sorted into the Republican parties, voters realigned and party attachment and loyalty grew. Today, few partisans defect from the party ticket for Congress and the presidency.
