In 2008, there were 35(!) states that were either solidly or leaning Democratic, five solid or leaning Republican and 10 judged as competitive. The following year there were 33 Democratic states, 12 competitive states and, still, five Republican ones.
Now
Twenty states are either solidly Republican or leaning Republican, while just 14 are solidly or leaning Democratic. The remaining 16 are competitive between the two parties.
From 2008 to 2015, Democrats went from a 30-state lead to a six-state deficit when it comes to states solidly or leaning their way on party affiliation. That is simply stunning.
Republicans have their largest House majority since World War II, having retaken the majority in the 2010 election. They hold a four-seat majority in the Senate, having seized control of the world's greatest deliberative body in the 2014 midterms.
At the state level, Republicans have 31 governorships -- almost two-thirds of all the governor's mansions in the country. Republicans are even more dominant at the state legislative level; the GOP holds total control over 30 of the 50 states' legislatures and has partial control in another eight states -- meaning that more than three-quarters of the country's state legislatures are controlled by the GOP.
This does not bode well for the general!
