Reagan Democrat

Bumper sticker from Reagan's successful 1980 presidential campaign reading "Democrats for Reagan & Bush"

A Reagan Democrat is a traditionally Democratic voter in the United States, referring to working class residents who supported Republican presidential candidates Ronald Reagan in the 1980 and the 1984 presidential elections, and George H. W. Bush during the 1988 presidential election. The term Reagan Democrat remains part of the lexicon in American political jargon because of Reagan's continued widespread popularity among a large segment of the electorate.[1]
