Over half a million voters have registered as Democrats during the last six months, according to the Democratic State Committee.
The DSC put out a press release today saying they’ve quantified the numbers, and that their party’s enrollment has increased by 48% in wake of the high turnout February 5th presidential primary.
The group said that Republicans had also caught “some of a tailwind,” inducting about 150,000 new voters to their ranks.
"This is more than a trend, it's a remarkable increase in Democratic voters that will have a lasting impact," said Democratic State Chairman Joe Cryan. "The people can't wait to bring the Bush era to an end and the best way to do that is to elect Democrats. It's not enough that the Bush Administration is coming to a close, the voters are rejecting everything with the Republican brand name."
Cryan acknowledged that the new registrants aren’t necessarily the most stalwart or active Democrats.
“These may be our voters, but we know we'll have to continue to work to keep them,” he said.
But it’s likely that most of those new registrants were already Democratic voters, said Eagleton Institute Director Ingrid Reed. What will be telling is how many of those voters participate in next week’s primary.
“We’ve never had a primary in February, or that kind of a presidential primary where so many people seemed to be engaged,” said Reed.
Although some of those previously unaffiliated voters would have probably already wound up targeted by Democratic campaigns, Reed said this could make them easier to identify.
“One of the thing for the parties that’s a good thing is these people are now identified on the voter roles, so they can direct their campaigns to them,” she said.

Wow - the illegal immigrant
Wow - the illegal immigrant problem is worse than I thought.
500,000 should be almost enough
to make up for the number of Democrats put behind bars for official corruption.
Elect Democrats?
Ya gotta love Mr. Cryan. He claims that the best way to get rid of Bush policies is to elect Democrats. Nonsense.
Bush/McCain/Zimmer/Lance are political liberals and the fountainhead of bigger, more expensive, and more intrusive government at all levels. Democrats uniformly advocate bigger, more expensive, and more intrusive government at all levels.
The antidote for Bushies is Ron Paul and Murray Sabrin and Darren Young, not Obama, Lautenberg and Stender.
Don't buy into this false Republican/Democrat dichotomy. it just ain't so.
They may have added
Registered democrats. That isn't to say that these voters didn't selected democratic candidates exclusively before. The independent voter is a myth.
Cryan.... shhhhhh!!!!!
The national Dems if they want any hope of winning the White House should muzzle Cryan.
Does Cryan really want the nation to see the "fine" job the Democrats have done with NJ?
Dont' get so cocky
Mr. Cryan shouldn't get so cocky about the 500,000 Democrats who joined the party. That was probably a response to George W. and has nothing to do with the State. Democrats are largely responsible for the mess this State is in and the voters know it. Just because someone registered as a Democrat does not mean that they won't throw local Democrats out on their sorry a***s.
