What is the percentage of independent voters in America?
According to this article written January 2nd, 2008: Independents are voters who, when asked by friends or pollsters, identified themselves as "independent" of the Democrats and Republicans. In some states, these voters can register as "independent" or "unaffiliated," but in other states, they register as Democrats or Republicans. Nationally, they make up about a third of all voters, but in some critical states like New Hampshire, they comprise over 40% of the electorate, both in general and most primary elections.http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/john_judis_and_ruy_teixeira/2008/01/independents_day_1.html
How long have democrats held the majority in congress?
Since 1940, the Democrats have been in control from 1940-46 when the GOP took control of both houses after WWII and retook the Congress in in 1950. During Eisenhower's 2 terms, the Democrats had either control of both houses or one during most of his 8 years. In 1960, the Democrats captured both houses and the Presidency and remained in control of both houses till 1980 when the Republicans captured the Senate and Reagan won. Democrats had control of the House of Representatives till 1994, when the GOP took both houses. Democrats took back the senate in 2006 and still controls that chamber. The GOP lost the House in 1998 but took it back in 2000 when Bush won. They lost the house again in 2006 until 2010 when they took 63 seats in the house and increased their minority in the Senate. Today, the Democrats are most strongest in the Far West, New England and the Mid-Atlantic States. The Democrats even won for the first time in decades, Virginia, North Carolina and New Mexico in 2008. Demographically, the country is becoming more non-white, especially Hispanic, which should be a great advantage to the Democrats! The Republicans are still prevalent in the Deep South and border States and the Rocky Mountain and Plains states.
