Richard Florida has an article this month in the Atlantic that talks about the country’s shift since the 2008 election of President Obama. Some key findings:

  • “In just three years, Republican identification jumped by more than five percent in 20 states.”
  • “Other Obama states that saw big increases in Republican identification include …Oregon (+5 percent)…”
  • “Rising Republicanism appears to be more tied to voters’ perceptions of the future of the economy.”
  • “The percentage of Americans who say they lean Republican has increased in 47 of the 50 states”
