Reagan Democrat

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

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