Ticket Splitting Fell to Historic Low in Midterms

Politico: “The results are enough to make it look like this year’s midterms represented a return to the old days of de-polarized statewide politics, when large numbers of voters would support one party’s candidate for Senate and the other party for governor.”

“But it was actually the opposite. A Politico analysis of the results shows that ticket-splitting in those races declined to the lowest point of any midterm since at least 1990.”
