Gallup Party ID by State

[DariusNJ]

An analysis of Gallup Poll Daily tracking data from the first six months of 2009 finds Massachusetts to be the most Democratic state in the nation, along with the District of Columbia. Utah and Wyoming are the most Republican states, as they were in 2008. Only four states show a sizeable Republican advantage in party identification, the same number as in 2008. That compares to 29 states plus the District of Columbia with sizeable Democratic advantages, also unchanged from last year.

gap between Obama margin and registration margin:

That's actually a pretty useful map for showing where Obama was popular. Although DE was more favorable because of Biden on the ticket, I guess.

Notice New Hampshire tied with Vermont. It is not as liberal because independents still lean right, at least one economic issues, but the real thing is not the size of the democratic bloc but its cohesiveness.

Vermont: 56\29
New Hampshire: 53\34
