According to the study, the most Republican-leaning group in America is white Mormons, 76 percent of whom favor the GOP and 16 percent of whom favor Democrats -- a 60-point margin.
(Note: These numbers include self-described independents who lean toward either party. These are also broken down only into groups that represent a significant chunk of Americans.)
The next most Republican group is also white and religious -- white evangelical millennials (adults under 34), who split 70/19 for the GOP. Mormon and evangelical sub-groups account for the rest of the top eight, too, until you get to men from the Silent Generation (between ages 69 and 86), who split 60/31 Republican, and a three-way tie to round out the top 10 between white married men, white male parents and whites from the South Central region (Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas).

Here are the top 10 most Republican demographics ("NH" stands for non-Hispanic, "Xer" is Generation X, etc.). There are actually 12 since there is a three-way tie at the bottom:
| Demographic | Republican/lean Republican | Democratic/lean Democratic |
| White NH Mormon | 76 | 16 |
| White NH Evangelical Protestant Millennial | 70 | 19 |
| White NH Evangelical Protestant Xer | 70 | 20 |
| Mormon | 70 | 22 |
| White Non-Hisp Evangelical Protestant | 68 | 22 |
| White NH Evangelical Protestant | 68 | 22 |
| White NH Evangelical Protestant Boomer | 68 | 23 |
| White NH Evangelical Protestant Silent | 67 | 25 |
| White NH Silent men | 60 | 31 |
| White NH Married men | 58 | 32 |
| White NH Parent men | 57 | 31 |
| White NH South Central (AL AR KY LA MS OK TN TX) | 58 | 32 |
Since white Americans dominate this list, here are the top 10 demographics that don't isolate them:
| Demographic | Republican/lean Republican | Democratic/lean Democratic |
| Mormon | 70 | 22 |
| Silent men | 54 | 37 |
| Married men | 51 | 38 |
| Rural | 47 | 39 |
| Married | 48 | 41 |
| Older Silent (79-86) | 48 | 43 |
| Silent (69-86) | 47 | 43 |
| Younger Silent (69-78) | 47 | 43 |
| $75,000 to $99,999 | 48 | 44 |
| College men | 47 | 43 |
And while almost all of the most Republican groups are white, almost all of the most Democratic groups are African Americans, who as a whole tilt 80/11 toward Democrats. In fact, each of the top 56 most Democratic groups broken down by Pew are some sub-group of black Americans.
Here are the top 10 most Democratic groups:
| Demographic | Republican/lean Republican | Democratic/lean Democratic |
| Black NH Silent women | 4 | 89 |
| Black NH Post graduate degree | 5 | 87 |
| Black NH No | 6 | 88 |
| Black NH Older Boomer (59-68) | 8 | 89 |
| Black NH Silent (69-86) | 7 | 87 |
| Black NH Gen Xer women | 6 | 84 |
| Black NH Boomer women | 8 | 86 |
| Black NH Some college | 8 | 85 |
| Black NH $50,000 to $74,999 | 8 | 85 |
| Black NH $40,000 to $49,999 | 8 | 85 |
The most Democratic groups that aren't black are white atheists (73/16) and all atheists (72/16), followed by Asian American women (73/17).
AD
Here are the top 10 non-black groups:
| Demographic | Republican/lean Republican | Democratic/lean Democratic |
| White NH Atheist | 16 | 73 |
| Atheist | 16 | 72 |
| Asian NH Women | 17 | 73 |
| Asian NH Millennial (ages 18-33 in 2014) | 17 | 70 |
| Asian NH <$30,000 | 17 | 69 |
| Agnostic | 23 | 69 |
| White NH Agnostic | 24 | 67 |
| Asian NH Some college or less | 23 | 66 |
| Asian, non-Hispanic (English-speaking) | 23 | 65 |
| Hispanic Older Boomer (59-68) | 23 | 65 |
The interesting ones here are Asian Americans, who as a whole favor Democrats 65/23. That's notable because Republicans won the Asian American vote in the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections. These voters have swung very blue in recent years, though, going 67 percent for President Obama in 2008 and 73 percent for him in 2012 -- one of the rare groups that moved more toward the Democrats in the latter election.
AD
One of the other big takeaways here: The most Democratic groups are all much more homogeneous than the most Republican groups. Even when you get beyond whites and blacks, there are 10 groups who are at least 65 percent Democratic-leaning, but only one on the GOP side (Mormons).

And if that's not enough, here are all the cross-tabs you could possibly want.
