Praise or blame is extended to political parties for the economic, educational, health and other quality of life outcomes that result from the policies those parties enact into law. To better understand which political party enjoys power in each of the states, Ballotpedia has analyzed state government control from 1992-2013 using the concept of a "partisan trifecta." A partisan trifecta is defined as when a state's governorship and legislative chambers are controlled by the same political party.

The two major political parties claim that their policies will lead to better outcomes. What does the data show?

At Ballotpedia, we explored these issues in a three-part study, Who Runs the States.

This page contains the section of Part Three pertaining to the Appendices.

Appendix A:

Partisan Control of Governorships, 1992-2013

The following table shows the partisan affiliation of each state’s governors over the past 22 years. For a year in which governors of more than one party held a state’s governorship, we assigned the year to the party whose member(s) held office for the majority of the year. "D" is the number of years Democratic governors held office, "R" is the number of years Republican governors held office, and "O" is the number of years governors with other partisan affiliations (i.e., independent) held office.

Appendix B: Complete State Partisan Rankings

Appendix B: Complete State Partisan Rankings – Aggregate Measure, 1992-2013

We calculated these scores by coding each year that the Republican Party had the opportunity to control a state institution (governorship or legislature) as a one (1) and each year that the Democratic Party controlled a state institution as a negative one (-1). Each time the governorship was controlled by a third party or independent candidate, it was coded as a zero (0). Similarly, any time the legislature had split control between the two parties, the legislature was coded zero (0). The codes were assigned for both the governor’s office and the legislature for each year. The summed total value of all the years is the state’s overall score.

For example, a state with a Republican governor and a Republican legislature one year would be coded as a two (2); one (1) for the Republican control of the governorship and one (1) for the Republican legislature. If same state has a Democratic governor in the following year, coded as negative one (-1), and a split legislature, coded as zero (0), then the state’s overall partisan score for those two years would be one (1).

Appendix C: State Quality of Life Index Rankings

The following table shows the overall rank of SQLI for the states over the selected period. New Hampshire fared the best in overall economic outcomes, followed closely by Minnesota and Colorado. Mississippi scored the lowest, consistently ranking 49 or 50 during the 21 year period.

Appendix D: Key Values for Individual State Regressions

For each state, we ran a panel data regression with fixed effects to explore the individual trends in each state. Our independent variable was the type of government a state had, with coding identifying each state government as a number one through nine (1 through 9), with nine (9) as a Democratic trifecta and one (1) as a Republican trifecta, and gradations of more Democratic or more Republican governments between the two extremes.

Coding for Different Types of Party Government
Type of Government Coding
Republican Trifecta 1
Other Party Governor – Republican Legislature 2
Democratic Governor – Republican Legislature 3
Republican Governor – Split Legislature 4
Other Party Governor – Split Legislature 5
Democratic Governor – Split Legislature 6
Republican Governor – Democratic Legislature 7
Other Party Governor – Democratic Legislature 8
Democratic Trifecta 9

The dependent variable was the state’s SQLI ranking two years after the state government type identified in the independent variable. This lag is designed to allow the policies of that state government time to be implemented and affect the state’s quality of life. Two years provides a rough measure, as some state policies take effect immediately while others may take many years to improve the quality of life in the state. These regression models are not specifically designed to identify trends in rankings, but they show some interesting correlations in the data. In these regressions, a positive coefficient indicates that a state has had higher ranking correlating with a more Republican government two years prior, while a negative coefficient indicates a higher ranking correlating with a more Democratic government two years prior to the ranking. The P-value indicates the percent chance that this coefficient is zero (0), and that no real relationship exists. Statisticians typically consider a P-value of less than 0.10 or 0.05 thresholds for statistical significance, suggesting a high likelihood of a different coefficient value than zero (0). The R-squared value indicates the percent of the variation in the dependent variable that may be explained by variation in the independent variable in the model. An R-squared of one (1) would indicate perfect correlation, whereas an R-squared value of zero (0) would indicate no clear correlation between the variables.
