1984 - Reagan
1988 - Dukakis (based on his personal dislike of Bush)
1992 - Perot
1996 - Perot (Clinton and Dole were evuuul space aliens)

I guess there's little point in doing The West Wing or House of Cards. Tongue

Following on from the previous post, let's try another beloved British show - Coronation Street. I haven't watched it regularly in years, so some of these characters may no longer be in it.

Ken Barlow - Labour. Probably voted Lib Dem in 2005 and 2010. Often tempted by the Greens.
Deirdre - Labour
Blanche - UKIP
Peter - Labour
Tracy - Conservative or non-voter
Gail - Swing voter. Labour 1997-2005, Tory in 2010.
David - Non-voter (likely sympathetic to Russell Brand's ideas)
Nick - Conservative
Sarah - Labour
Martin - Labour
Audrey - Was once a Conservative councillor
Jack and Vera - Labour
Mike Baldwin - True Blue Conservative
Rita - Labour
Norris - Conservative
Emily - Lib Dem
Betty - Labour
Roy and Hayley - Green
Steve McDonald - Conservative
Liz - Labour
Jim - DUP
Sally Webster - Conservative
Kevin Webster - Labour
Dev - Conservative
Eileen - Labour
Jason - Labour
Todd - Labour
Sean - Lib Dem
Curly - Lib Dem
Fred - Conservative
Ashley - Swing voter
Les Battersby - UKIP; previously Labour
Fiz - Labour
Kirk - Labour
Maria - Lib Dem

That's as many as I can name. Tongue

Let's do The Simpsons again.

Homer - White working-class male with a populist streak, somewhat homophobic and known to be quite a militant unionist when he wants to be. But has also taken a liberal streak on illegal immigrants. On balance, Trump.
Marge - Mainstream female Democrat would vote for the mainstream female Democrat. Would have supported her in the primaries too.
Bart - Likes cool things, so Sanders in the primaries. Hates authority, so wouldn't vote for either main party candidate. Probably Johnson.
Lisa - Environmentalist, feminist and SJW long before the term was coined. Lean Sanders in the primaries, reluctant Hillary supporter in the general to keep out Trump.
Abe - Thought he got money for doing nothing at all because the Democrats were in power again. Also blamed them for not being able to see his grandson. War veteran with a nostalgic streak. Clearly Trump...as long as he promises to make Matlock run on every TV network 24/7.
Mr. Burns - Republican in the Romney mould. Probably not keen on Trump's immigration stance, as he employs Mexicans himself. Would probably follow the Bushes in voting for Johnson.
Mr. Smithers - Known to lie about his political stances to please Mr. Burns. Would do so again by voting for Hillary, despite telling Burns that he'd vote for Johnson.
Moe - Secretly an illegal immigrant and possibly transgender. He'd be very vocal to the regulars at the bar about the need for a Trump presidency, but in the privacy of the polling booth he'd vote for Hillary.
