Historically, Connecticut was a bastion of Republicanism, although this was typically a liberal "Yankee" brand of the Republican Party. From the Civil War to the 1990s, the state voted Republican all but nine times on the presidential level. It only voted Democratic in the elections of 1876, 1888, 1912, 1936, 1940, 1944, 1960, 1964, and 1968. However, since the 1992 election, the state has voted Democratic every time, and since 1996, it has been by double-digit margins. <ref> |

However, Democrats have controlled the state legislature for all but 13 years since 1959 and have held both Senate seats since 1989, as no Republican has won a Senate seat in the state since 1982. Every seat in the House of Representatives is held by a Democrat, with the last Republican having lost in 2008. That election marked the first time since the 1850s that no Republican represented Connecticut or any state in [[New England|New England region]] in the House.<ref>{{cite news |title=G.O.P. a Dying Breed in New England |newspaper=USA Today |author=Susan Haigh |date=November 9, 2008 |access-date=April 18, 2014 |url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/politics/2008-11-09-4237129098_x.htm}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Jim Himes Defeats Christopher Shays in 4th District |newspaper=The Hartford Courant |author=Jon Lender & Mark Pazniokas |date=November 5, 2008 |access-date=April 18, 2014 |url=http://articles.courant.com/2008-11-05/news/hc-4house.artnov05_1_himes-barack-obama-bridgeport}}</ref> |
