If I recall correctly, the last time Republicans won the popular vote was 2004. Last time before that was 1988. The Republican party is massively over-represented in American politics at nearly every level and has been for decades.
- partiallypro 6y agoNot sure that has anything to do with what I said "a solid 40-50%" being Conservative/Republican leaning. Obama didn't even get close to 55% in his best year. I wouldn't call a ~.5-2% difference "massive" (especially when most Americans don't identify with either party) but anyhow your opinion of the electoral college and the Senate is completely off topic and not even related to what I just said.
- roody15 6y agoThis is a bit misleading since Republicans focus on winning the electoral college. If republicans needed to win the popular vote they would campaign harder in high population urban centers and the popular vote counts would be much closer.
