The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
September 19, 2023: As of the end of August, 55% of all state legislatures in the United States are Republican controlled, while 44% are controlled by Democrats. Republicans control 57 chambers, while Democrats hold 40. Two chambers (Alaska House and Alaska Senate) were organized under multipartisan, power-sharing coalitions.
Note: Neither Scott Rasmussen, ScottRasmussen.com, nor RMG Research, Inc. have any affiliation with Rasmussen Reports. While Scott Rasmussen founded that firm, he left nearly a decade ago and has had no involvement since that time.
Editor's note: a previous version of this story reported that the Alaska House was the only chamber organized under multipartisan, power-sharing coalitions. It has been updated to reflect that both chambers are organized under multipartisan, power-sharing coalitions.
