By the start of the 2000s, the demographic landscape of the American electorate had shifted significantly. White Christians who were married accounted for just over 40 percent of voters. This change indicated a diminishing influence of this group in the overall political scene.
Additionally, the decline in their numbers coincided with a growing alignment of this demographic with the Republican Party. As they became more concentrated within this party, it reflected broader trends in political affiliations, reshaping the dynamics of American politics during that period.
