Many say their political group overlaps with their other identities
Core finding
In a Verasight survey of 1,000 U.S. adults conducted Feb. 28 to March 6, 2025, Americans see their political group as only partly bound up with the rest of who they are. The largest single share (36%) describe the overlap between their politics and traits like race, religion, or sexuality as moderate.
From there the balance tilts toward more overlap than less: answers land on the high-overlap side (41%) more than the low-overlap side (22%), and 7% say their political and personal identities coincide completely.
Topline distribution
Many say their political group overlaps with their other identities.
To what extent do members of your political group tend to also belong to your other social groups (e.g., your race, religion, sexuality, etc.)?
