Idaho spent the last 19 years under Republican <a href="/Trifectas" class="mw-redirect" title="Trifectas">trifectas</a>. </p><p>Across the country, there were 493 years of Democratic governors (44.82%) and 586 years of Republican governors (53.27%) from 1992 to 2013. </p><p>Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states had divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied. </p><p>The chart below shows the partisan composition of the <a class="mw-selflink selflink">Office of the Governor of Idaho</a>, the <a href="/Idaho_State_Senate" title="Idaho State Senate">Idaho State Senate</a> and the <a href="/Idaho_House_of_Representatives" title="Idaho House of Representatives">Idaho House of Representatives</a> from 1992 to 2013. </p> <div class="center"><div class="thumb tnone"><div class="thumbinner" style="width:902px;"><a href="/File:Partisan_composition_of_Idaho_state_government(1992-2013).PNG" class="image"><img alt="Partisan composition of Idaho state government(1992-2013).PNG" src="https://ballotpedia.s3.amazonaws.com/images/thumb/9/98/Partisan_composition_of_Idaho_state_government%281992-2013%29.PNG/900px-Partisan_composition_of_Idaho_state_government%281992-2013%29.PNG" decoding="async" width="900" height="69" class="thumbimage" srcset="https://ballotpedia.s3.amazonaws.com/images/9/98/Partisan_composition_of_Idaho_state_government%281992-2013%29.PNG 1.5x" data-file-width="1102" data-file-height="84" /></a> <div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><a href="/File:Partisan_composition_of_Idaho_state_government(1992-2013).PNG" class="internal" title="Enlarge"></a></div></div></div></div></div> <h4><span class="mw-headline" id="SQLI_and_partisanship">SQLI and partisanship</span></h4> <p>The chart below depicts the partisanship of the Idaho state government and the state's SQLI ranking for the years studied. For the SQLI, the states were ranked from 1-50, with 1 being the best and 50 the worst. Idaho never had a Democratic trifecta during the period of the study, but the state has had a Republican trifecta from 1995 to 2013, and before that divided government between 1992 and 1994. The Idaho state legislature has been in Republican hands since 1992. The state’s lowest SQLI ranking came near the bottom-10 class (40th) in 1999 and 2000 under a Republican trifecta, while its highest ranking (17th) also occurred under a Republican trifecta in 2007. Idaho made its largest leap in the SQLI ranking between the years 2011 and 2012, jumping nine spots in the SQLI ranking in a single year. </p> <ul><li>SQLI average with Democratic trifecta: N/A</li> <li>SQLI average with Republican trifecta: 28.50</li> <li>SQLI average with divided government: 31.00</li></ul> <div class="center"><div class="thumb tnone"><div class="thumbinner" style="width:902px;"><a href="/File:Idaho_SQLI_visualization.PNG" class="image"><img alt="" src="https://ballotpedia.s3.amazonaws.com/images/thumb/5/5a/Idaho_SQLI_visualization.PNG/900px-Idaho_SQLI_visualization.PNG" decoding="async" width="900" height="95" class="thumbimage" srcset="https://ballotpedia.s3.amazonaws.com/images/5/5a/Idaho_SQLI_visualization.PNG 1.5x" data-file-width="1119" data-file-height="118" /></a> <div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><a href="/File:Idaho_SQLI_visualization.PNG" class="internal" title="Enlarge"></a></div>Chart displaying the partisanship of Idaho government from 1992-2013 and the State Quality of Life Index (SQLI).</div></div></div></div> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Historical_officeholders">Historical officeholders</span></h2> <p>There have been 33 governors since 1890.
