My surname is 54% Democratic and 46% Republican. I was expecting a slight Republican lean. For what it's worth, the origin is English.

My mom's maiden name (also of English origin) is one of the more common surnames in the US (and the UK for that matter). It's 57% Democratic and 43% Republican.

I made a map where each state's governor represents their respective state:



Not surprisingly, names like Martinez, Sandoval, and Jindal are heavily Democratic. I think Hassan may have been the most Democratic name overall (88% D to 12% R). The most Republican name was Hickenlooper (78% R to 22% D).

Apparently, Kasich, Kitzhaber, and Shumlin are too unique, so they can't be used.
