core constituency
Reliable supporter group
The group of supporters who reliably back a political party, candidate, or cause.
Unlike swing voters who might be persuaded either way, the core constituency provides a dependable base: The tax cut appealed to the party's core constituency of wealthy donors.
The term extends beyond politics to any organization's most loyal audience or customer base.
