Voter migration deepens political divide in the U.S. analysis shows

A recent analysis of voter migration reveals increasing political polarization in the U.S. since the last presidential election. Many voters are moving from balanced neighborhoods to areas that strongly align with their political views, widening the gap between Democratic and Republican regions. The study tracked over 3.5 million movers, showing that Republicans typically relocated to neighborhoods that Trump won by an average of 19 points, while Democrats moved to Biden-supporting areas with the same margin. This trend has contributed to a more divided political landscape. While politics is not the sole reason for these moves, many voters indicated it influenced their decisions. The analysis highlights how personal choices in housing are reshaping communities and may impact future elections, particularly in battleground states.
