Someone earlier posted some for the 1920s and 1930s, but I haven't seen any for the 40s and 50s.

Google Translate that site to English. It's interesting, but its in French.

Here's the explanation for 2004 (hilariously translated):

"2004: until the last moment the partisans of Kerry believed in the defeat of that which appeared to them a monster of reaction and irresponsibility. However, it is deep America which decided poll, by mistrust towards a too typical intellectual of the certain North-East. More precisely, the South-east centered on Nasville, a zone active of Texas in Kansas being prolonged towards interior California, as well as the suburbs remote, easy, in margin of the great urban centres brought this addition of vote to the republicans until the democrats waited for their account of the cities in economic difficulty... (see the explanatory charts.) Even allied at the peaceful coast, the North-East could not make the weight."
