When it comes to Californias 53 congressional districts, first impressions are deceiving. Republicans have held tightly to their seats in the House of Representatives, but the latest data beg the question of whether the partys grip could be loosening.
Fourteen congressional districts are represented by Republicans. But in none do they comprise a majority of voters. Their highest concentration, nestled in the Sierra foothills district of Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Elk Grove), is slightly less than 44%.
That Republicans arent dominant in congressional districts isnt exactly breaking news. Arnold Schwarzenegger was in his first term as governor the last time any California district broke the 50% mark in Republican registration. But last months state registration report reveals an accelerated erosion of GOP strength.
There are a number of Republican incumbents who are sitting on ticking time bombs, said Eric McGhee, a researcher at the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California.
