I think it has to do with the Democrats becoming the centrist party and the Republicans the radical one. From Eisenhower to Ford, the GOP used to be the more moderate party. Reagan realigned the GOP to the right, and Clinton realigned the Dems to the center, prompting this shift.
Exactly.  Republicans are seen as extreme, especially on social issues.  That's why 1992 was a realignment.
