The Republican Party gained public support throughout 1984 and is ending the year with about as many adherents as the Democrats, according to New York Times/CBS News Polls. Political professionals disagree, however, on whether the party's gains signal the beginning of a political realignment. Polls taken over the year showed an increase in the number of people who identified themselves as Republicans and a sharp drop in the number who called themselves Democrats, and now, according to the most recent Times/CBS Poll, the numbers are about equal. Moreover, a majority of young people now identify with or lean toward the Republican Party, and many more independents say they lean toward the Republicans than toward the Democrats. Last January a Times/CBS News Poll reported that when independents who leaned toward one party or the other were counted, 36 percent of those surveyed identified themselves as Republicans, 52 percent as Democrats and 12 percent as independents.
