According to surveys conducted over the past thirty years, there has been a decrease in the proportion of people who identify with either one of the two major parties. This trend is sometimes called "party dealignment," where voters are less likely to identify with a particular party and more likely to identify as independent or third-party supporters. The other options are incorrect: A is incorrect because the Democrats were the majority party before the 1950s, and there was a shift in party dominance in the 1990s; B is incorrect because loyalty to both parties has fluctuated over time, with no clear trend toward one or the other; D is incorrect because party identification can change in response to major political events, such as wars, economic crises, or scandals.
