[EL] State by State party ID breakdown

[Charles Stewart III]

I think most political scientists (or at least many) would say the best quick place to start is just to take recent election returns in presidential elections.

I like Leip’s presidential atlas for such things:  http://uselectionatlas.org/.

Rather than take just the 2012 election, you might want to average 2008 and 2012.

Party registration is a non-starter, so don’t even try that one.

There may be a source out there that reports party identification from the big national academic surveys (like the CCES), and maybe someone on the listserv would run that table for you quickly.

The book “Statehouse Politics” is probably out-of-date for your purposes, but you might want to give it a look in any case.

Subject: [EL] State by State party ID breakdown

Hi all:

Does any one know of a database that has already organized state by state  population party identification  or affiliation over the last few election cycles?   (I.e. of those surveyed, what percentage identify as Democrat, Republican, or independent).   I would prefer to be able to look at presidential election cycles over the last few elections but also including congressional (midterm) is fine too.  What I have in mind is the exit poll data that does the state by state breakdown of partisan affiliation.  I know I can go back and go to CNN or other sites and create the data myself but before I do that I want to see if anyone has already done that.

Thank you.
