Dr. McDonald has an intereresting post at HuPo.  The data is a little patchy as it dates for a six month period from April 1 to October 1, and represents the 29 states (and the District of Columbia) which have partisan voter registration.

Better data (but probably not much different) will be available in a couple of months at Ballot Acess News.

Changes since 2008 have been minor (as should be expected), but the trends are interesting.

Trending Republican: Arizona, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Wyoming.
Trending Democrat: Connecticut, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Hampshire

Blue states are becoming bluer and red states are becoming redder.

Blue states are becoming bluer and red states are becoming redder.

To an extent that is true, but, look at the changes by geography.

All the states trending Democrat are in the northeast, whereas Republican  trending states are in the Midwest, the South and the West.

If anything, this is bad news.

Doesn't seem so bad to me.

Barry had a pretty interesting proposal about sawing off the northeast.

Maybe we could work an exchange with Canada.

They get the northeast and we get the provinces west of Ontario.

Those provinces have nothing in common with you, culturally or politically.

No, I'm not going to live in the same country as Ontario.

You have to take it as well.

Why the Ontario hate, if you don't mind me asking?

It has Toronto, and it's Ontario, and it's not Quebec, and it's Ontario.

Four good reasons, if you ask me.

Why don't you try telling those provinces that you're going to take away their universal health care, gay marriage, and so on, and see exactly how they respond?
