Maybe 1984? I thought maybe 1988, but ended up figuring that there were something like 238 House districts that were more Republican than the national average. This is probably a function of the fact that Dukakis underperformed horribly(which would be a trend from this point on) in a lot of traditionally Democratic Southern seats where he was getting less than 40%(sometimes less than 30%) of the vote despite comfortably electing Democrats.
Anybody have any ideas?
I agree that it is probably a while. Mr. P, do you know how many CDs were more Republican than the national average in any other years?
I know it was around 227 after 1992 and 1996. Probably a little higher in 2000. In 2004, it was something like 234.
