Last election in top 10 (or 20% with under 48 states) most Republican:- 2016: Wyoming, West Virginia, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Idaho, Kentucky, South Dakota, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee
- 2012: Utah, Nebraska, Kansas
- 2008: Alaska, Louisiana
- 2004: Texas
- 2000: Montana
- 1996: Mississippi, Indiana, South Carolina
- 1988: New Hampshire, Florida, Arizona, Nevada
- 1976: Colorado, Vermont
- 1972: Georgia, North Carolina (only occurrence)
- 1968: Iowa
- 1964: Virginia (only occurrence)
- 1960: Maine
- 1956: New Jersey, Connecticut, Wisconsin
- 1948: Pennsylvania, Oregon
- 1940: Michigan
- 1936: Delaware, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
- 1932: Ohio
- 1928: Washington, California
- 1920: Minnesota, Illinois
- 1916: New York
- NEVER: Maryland, Missouri, New Mexico, Hawaii
Longest current streak in R Top 10: - Idaho (since 1972 when 11th in huge landslide; otherwise since 1960)
- Oklahoma, Wyoming (since 1992)
- Utah was most Republican every election 1976 to 2004 and would qualify but for strong third party in 2016
It’s extremely plausible Missouri will soon become a regular in Republican Top 10s. Last election in top 10 (or 20% with under 48 states) most Democratic:- 2016: Hawaii, California, Massachusetts, Maryland, Vermont, New York, Illinois, Washington, Rhode Island, New Jersey
- 2012: Delaware, Connecticut
- 2008: Maine
- 1996: Arkansas
- 1992: West Virginia, Minnesota
- 1988: Iowa, Oregon
- 1984: Pennsylvania
- 1980: Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama
- 1976: South Carolina, North Carolina
- 1972: South Dakota (only occurrence; due of course to powerful “favorite son” effect)
- 1964: Alaska (only occurrence)
- 1956: Mississippi, Missouri
- 1952: Louisiana, Kentucky
- 1948: Texas, Oklahoma
- 1944: Florida, Virginia
- 1936: Nevada
- 1932: North Dakota (only occurrence)
- 1916: Colorado
- 1896: Utah (only occurrence), Montana (only occurrence), Idaho (only occurrence)
- NEVER: New Hampshire, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico
Massachusetts and Rhode Island were last outside the top 10 most Democratic states in 1956.
