The US is split almost exactly 50/50 in most national elections for the most part (unless one party really screws up and their registered voters just stay home in protest). Even on a state-by-state basis, if you look at the popular counts - its often almost 50/50.
The present-day US really seems to be two separate countries culturally speaking. Of course,that's ignoring the enormous misinformation and manipulation machines of the power interests.
