                            February 27, 2026Supreme Court Throws Out Trump Tariffs and Upholds Constitution By Michael Barone

February 26, 2026One-Party Dominance in the States: Only a Few Have Party Diversity Among Their Statewide Officeholders By Louis Jacobson
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE— In 41 of the 50 states, every statewide executive office is held by the same party—a striking indicator of the scope of political polarization today. In another six states, one side has a clear edge.
— This leaves only three states that have a relatively balanced mix of Republican and Democratic statewide officeholders: Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina.
— Overall, the stronger party’s dominance has grown in recent years. In March 2020, the last time we conducted this analysis, 16 states had at least some degree of bipartisanship in their ranks of statewide executive offices, which is almost twice today’s level.
