A new report on voter registration trends finds that Democratic voter registration is down by more than 800,000 since 2008 in eight key battleground states.

GOP registration has also declined — but by only 79,000, a tenth of the Democrats' losses.

Meanwhile, registered independents are on the rise, increasing their numbers in those states by nearly half-a-million.
