According to Merill's release:
Compared to 2008 numbers, these numbers represent a decline in both new Republican voters and unaffiliated voters enrolling in the party in the months leading up to the Republican Presidential Preference primary. In 2008, some 6,300 new voters registered as Republicans in the 90 days prior to the primary, while some 3,600 unaffiliated voters enrolled as Republicans during that same time period.Of the 2 million active, registered voters, 734,431 are Democrats, 414,539 are Republicans, but the majority, 828,252 of them, are unaffiliated voters.
