We, the people, Study on US Senate and Congress

There has been lots of talks about “Crazy Democrats, left extremist who give welfare to lazy people to buy their votes but bankrupt the country" on the right-wing media. There are also lots of talks about “Trump’s republicans, who care about millionaires and Billionaires only."

Well, I am interested to find between Democrats and Replicants, which party represent the majority of American voters and which party represent the majority of American economic engine.

From the first glance, one would see the following facts:

Among 100 senators, Replicants have 53 seats and Democrats have 47 seats. So it is 53/47

Among 435 House of representatives, Replicants have 201 seats and Democrats have 236 seats, so it is about 46/54.

Senate and congress combine, it close to a wash, American is equally divided between 2 major parties.

Is it really?

 

I took some effort did some research on each of 50 States and collected the following data points:

1. Population
2. GDP
3. # of seats in Senate Occupied by each party in the state
4. # of seats in congress Occupied by each party in the state

 

Once I collected the data, I did the following calculations for each state:

 

1. population represented in senate by each party
2. population represented in House by each party
3. GDP represented in senate by each party       
4. GDP represented in House by each party

 

After summing up the data to the federal level, I got the following table:

 

 

	Senate				Congress
	Republican		Democrat		Republican		Democrat
Seats	53	53%	47	47%	201	46%	236	54%
Population	158,058,090	48.11%	170,473,553	51.89%	152,808,605	46.31%	177,187,858	53.69%
GDP	8,716,082	42.28%	11,898,247	57.72%	8,834,176	42.68%	11,866,294	57.32%

 

 

This data indicates that Democrats represent the majority of American people in both Senate and Congress, Democrats represent the majority American economic engine in both Senate and Congress as well. 

 

This article does not endorse Democrat’s policy by any means. It simply states the fact that the majority of American people supports Democrat’s policy and more than 57% of American GDP is produced by people who lean to Democrat’s policy.

 

As late Senator from NY Daniel Patrick Moynihan once said, “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.”

 

If you are interested at the detail statistical of my research, please QQH me, I would be happy to share my worksheet with you.
