Based on behavior of the states beginning in 1992:
All 6 Republican
5 Republican
4 republican, 2 Democratic (but dark green if Obama got crushed by 10% or larger margins twice)
Even split, 3-34 Democratic
5 Democratic
All 6 DemocraticDemocrats have gotten at least 243 electoral votes (by the 2012 count, which is the
least generous count) in all of these elections, so it is difficult to make any distinctions among states in medium red.
Since 1984 Democrats have been steadily picking up "Rockefeller Republicans" in the Northeast and Far West while getting the fast-growing middle-class Hispanic and Asian vote, and Republicans have been steadily picking up the Southern poor white vote. The "Rockefeller Republicans" and middle-class Hispanics and Asians have much in common (secularism, respect for formal education), but have huge cultural divides with Southern poor whites. The "Rockefeller Republicans" are a small part of the national electorate, but they were enough to allow Republicans to win some statewide elections in comparatively liberal states in the 1960s and 1970s.
In the 1980s Reagan and (the first time) the elder Bush won landslides with coalitions that included "Rockefeller Republicans" and southern poor whites. Coalitions that include incompatible interests invariably break, and the coalition that allowed Reagan-era landslides just could not be maintained.
The trick for the Democrats to keep the White House is to keep getting 52-48 or 53-47 wins of the popular vote. Even 55-45 splits imply the grafting together of incompatible interests in the coalition.
