I just started It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia:

Mac: Trump (Cruz in primary?)
Dee: Clinton (Sanders in primary)
Frank: Trump (primary and general)
Charlie: Abstain (Sanders in primary because it seemed cool to him?)
Dennis: Probably has never voted in his life

Am currently re-watching How I Met Your Mother, which I know some people don't like for being a cheap knock-off of Friends. But I actually - wait for it - prefer it...

Anyway:

Ted Mosby - Probably the most moderate member of the group. Will put him down as voting for Hillary, but he would have gone for Kasich in the primary (a fellow Ohioan). Would have supported Jeb or Rubio in a general also.

Marshall Eriksen - Believer of environmental causes, despite working briefly in the corporate world. I imagine he supported Sanders in the primaries but will back Stein in the general.

Robin Scherbatsky - With dual citizenship, she can now vote. Hardest to pin down but probably a Republican based on her upbringing and interests. Will vote for Trump whilst holding her nose. Not sure who she would have backed in the primaries, but gotta lean toward Ted Cruz because of the Canadian thing...

Barney Stinson - In public, very much a corporate/white collar Republican. Would have gone for Jeb, Rubio or Kasich in the primary, but gets a kick out of telling friends he is all for Trump now. However, in the polling booth, with his history and current "assignment" (PLEASE), he would have backed Bernie in the primary. Probably leans Stein in the general but open to voting Hillary too.

Lily Aldrin - Democrat through and through. Admires the Bernie Sanders campaign but backs Hillary to the hilt.

One of my all-time favorite shows.  I agree on Lily and Robin.  But, there are a few references to Ted being a Democrat (see: the hanging chad Halloween costume and Robin being concerned about Ted being anti-gun when they were dating).  Marshall is probably more moderate than you think, possibly a swing voter.  Barney is probably really a moderate right-leaning libertarian and would support Jeb or Kasich in the primary and Johnson in the general.

I just watched Arrested Development on Netflix.  This one is actually pretty difficult to do, as individual characters have been all over the place

Michael: Possible example of a Orange County Bush/McCain/Romney/Clinton voter?
George Sr.: Obvious Republican with Trumpist sympathies
Lucille: BUILD THAT WALL!!!
GOB: Swing voter??
Lindsay: Bernie voter at heart, even if she is technically the GOP candidate for Congress at the end of Season 4
Tobias: Democrat through and through
Buster: Votes however Lucille tells him to, so Republican
George-Michael: Johnson voter?
Maeby: Obvious liberal
Ann: Christian conservative, probably held her nose for Trump
Lucille 2: Business-friendly Democrat, Democratic nominee for Congress in Season 4
Oscar: Pot smoking libertarian
Barry Zuckerkorn: Republican
Tony Wonder: Tells everyone he is a liberal, but may not be so liberal in real life

And, several of the characters have the wrong reasons for their political beliefs.

My take on Arrested Dev:

Michael - Probably a Never Trump republican. He'll be wanting someone who can regulate his parents' business interests. I'd say he goes with Johnson.
George - A big-business voter. Has strong anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiments. Maybe Jeb in the primaries, but definitely Trump overall.
Lucille - Hillary. She seems like a neoliberal Wall Street type to me who only cares about being rich.
Gob - Seems pretty apolitical to me. All he really does is bad magic tricks and trying to best his brother at something.
Buster - Probably a Hillary supporter to spite his mother.
Lindsay - Stein.
Tobias - Hillary voter. Only cares about gay issues.
Maeby - Typical Hollywood Hillary shill. Probably has the same political views as Alia Shawkat IRL.
GM - Votes Hillary in hopes of winning over Maeby.

Lucille (1) would have been a Trump voter for sure, considering how she pushed for a wall so strongly in Season 4 (which was before Trump's campaign).  Buster's vote would have also depended on his mood relative to Lucille 1 (Trump) and Lucille 2 (the Democratic nominee for what is probably CA-48).  Ironically, Lindsay winds up the Republican nominee (by accident), even though she is so liberal.

Just finished The Office (don't judge me for waiting until 2017-18 to watch it):

Michael: This one's tough.  He's politically incorrect, but also wants to seem cool.  I almost see him as a weird Trump-Sanders swing voter.  Or may have voted for someone to make a point about gender or race (such as voting for Carson to say how much he loves black people).
Dwight: Trump or some weird candidate no one has heard of
Jim: Hard to pin down, probably pretty centrist.  May have gone for Hillary but have been open to voting for a different Republican.
Pam: Same as Jim, but probably is also a registered Republican
Angela: Religious right.  Voted Cruz in the primary and Trump in the general.
Phyllis: Conservative with neocon sympathies.  Rubio in the primaries and Trump in the general.
Meredith: Voted for Trump due to his more vulgar comments
Darryl: Probable Hillary voter, but I don't see him as all that liberal.
Kevin: Finds Trump entertaining?  Was in a bizarre uneducated awe of the election.
Ryan: Becomes anti-capitalist as the show goes on, but doesn't find anyone idealistic enough.  Writes somebody in.
Kelly: Liked Trump on The Apprentice and hates Hillary's pantsuits, so she voted for Trump.
Toby: Martin O'Malley or Ben Carson because no one lets them talk
Oscar: Atheist, gay liberal Democrat.  Probably not revolutionary enough to support Bernie though.
Andy: Kasich/Rubio voter to appease upper-class WASP sentiments.  Votes Johnson in the general.
Erin: Actually appears to have been raised a devout Christian, but wouldn't like Trump's rhetoric or pessimism.  Abstains, after voting Cruz or Kasich in the primary after Rubio dropped out.
Gabe: Atheist and seems to prefer foreign cultures to America, so probably a Democrat.  I'll guess Bernie.
Jo: Friend of Nancy Pelosi.  Hillary Clinton voter for sure.
Robert California: Who knows, but probably Trump or Johnson
Roy: Union Democrat who voted for Trump in 2016
Jan: Business Republican turned Hillary voter, quite liberal on social issues
Holly: Moderately libertarian Democrat.  Voted Hillary in the primary and general.
State Senator: (Very hypocritical) conservative Republican

The Ranch:

Everybody votes Republican except Maggie, that random protester girl Rooster met in the bar, and maybe Heather (but probably not after she seemed to realize that abortion was wrong at the last minute).  I know a couple characters like Engineer Jen and either Brenda or Jo-Ann (can't remember which one) were Democrats at some point in their lives, but they would be Republicans today.  The only differences are level of political enthusiasm and the Trump vs. Cruz divide.
