U.S. political composition of states 2008-2018, by party affiliation

Published by Statista Research Department, Nov 3, 2023
Over the last two years, the number of states either identifying with or leaning towards the Democratic Party has been growing, increasing from 14 in 2016 to 22 in 2018. Corresponding to this has been a decline in both: support for the Republicans, which fell from 21 to 18; and the number of states that can be considered competitive, which fell from 15 to 10.
