The presidential primary season may be over and done with, but people are getting in their political fix anyway they can–even if that means byway of fictional political television shows. The CenturyLink team researched the top politically-charged television shows from the past decade and used Google Trends data to determine which state loves which political shows most.
Some of their most interesting findings are as follows:
- Predominantly republican states love Scandal.
- Predominantly democrat states love 24 (yes, even still).
- DC is a fan of watching shows based in DC. House of Cards, West Wing, Veep, Commander in Chief, and The Americans all fall in DC’s top five list.
- Midwesterners loves political comedies more than political dramas.
- Nevada, home to Sin City, loves crime-focused shows like 24 and The Wire.
Take a look for yourself:
Are you surprised by your state’s favorite political television shows? Somehow we weren’t too shocked to see that the home region of Southern Belle Mellie Grant has a solid Scandal fan base in southeastern states. Go here for a full report of each state’s top five favorite political dramas and comedies.
