TF2 Characters:

The American classes:

Scout - Assuming he isn't apolitical, I can see him as being a Rockefeller Republican. His mother is a rather conservative-looking housewife, and knowing how big of a Momma's boy Scout is, he most likely lets his mother influence his political views. He MIGHT have voted for Humphrey in 1968, but chances are he voted for Nixon instead. If he bothered to vote in a primary, it would be for Rockefeller. Unless he becomes more liberal or less dependent on his mother by the time of Mann vs Machine, he most likely voted for Nixon again in 1972.

Engineer - The Engineer is your average blue collar southern man. Well, apart from having 11 PhDs. He is very likely to be a conservative Blue Dog Democrat. Since he appears to be rather racially tolerant, it is unlikely would support Wallace in 1968. As such, I think he would vote for Humphrey in 1968 but definitely would vote for Nixon rather than McGovern in 1972.

Soldier - I am not even sure he can read. If he can, he probably doesn't leave his apartment to vote. He is too stupid and insane to participate in regular politics.

The European Classes:

The Heavy: The Heavy is far more intelligent than he appears in the game, but remember that the Soviet Union is a one-party dictatorship, so no meaningful elections take place there. The Heavy's father was a counter-revolutionary, so it is likely Heavy and the surviving members of his family are the same. That could mean they are Tzarists, Mensheviks, Liberals, or even the wrong kind of Marxist, but he is definitely not in favor of the current Soviet regime.

The Medic:  Valve has confirmed he is not a Nazi, so that possibility is threatened out. I'd say Medic's political views depend on his religious views. He hails from a small rural Bavarian town named Rottenburg, so it is very likely he might be a conservative Catholic. If that is the case, he might be one of the remnants of the Zentrum Partei or part of the CDU. If he is Jewish or Atheist, he is more likely to be a member of the SPD. Again, I believe the Medic's religious views would be largely determined by his religion.

The Demoman: Demoman is always drunk in-game, but he is sometimes sober in the comics, but even then it's rare. I am not sure that he really cares about politics. In one of his Domination lines, he does insult the Heavy by calling him a "bloody Bolshevik," so there is that.

The Spy: I think the Spy - *backstabbed*

Unknown:

The Pyro: We'll never know. He/she/it would probably burn the ballot booth.

The Walking Dead, Season 1 (video game):

I'll just stick to the main characters.

Lee Everett: Democrat or Independent. (Even that would probably be up to the player's choice.)
Clementine: Too young to vote/care
Duck: Also too young to vote/care.
Larry: Republican, probably of a neocon flavoring.
Lily: Most likely Republican, likely has similar views to her father.
Kenny: Independent or Republican, seems like he would be either in the Tea Party or the social conservative camp.
Katjaa: Might be apolitical about her politics due to her Belgian nationaly; I don't think the game lets us know if she is a naturalized US citizen or not. Assuming she is and is political, she might be a liberal due to her European roots and uncomfortable attitude regarding guns.
Carley: Maybe a Democrat, but I only guess that since she's a journalist. However, she might be very moderate or might even be Independent or Republican since she very willingly carries a gun around.
Doug: Most likely Libertarian due to his IT background.
Omid: Democrat. (I'd heavily bet on it since he's from San Fransisco.)
Christa: Democrat. (Same reason as Omid.)
Herschel: I'll go with Wolverines34's judgement.
Ben: Unless he's 18, he is too young to vote. He is most likely a Democrat or Libertarian due to his age, but since he is from Stone Mountain, he might be an Atlanta Metro Republican.
