U.S. governors - number by political party affiliation 1990-2019

In 2019, there were 27 Republican governors and 23 Democratic governors in office. The number of both Republican and Democratic governors has been fluctuating since 1990, with Democratic governors seeing a surge from 2018 to 2019. Opinions of governors The top 10 most popular governorsas of December 2019, were all Republicans, while six out of the top 10 least popular governors were Democrats, which includes New York governor Andrew Cuomo. However, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Cuomo received favorable opinions from both political parties in his state. Across all states, governors have received overall positive opinions from residents about their responses to the George Floyd protests, while members of Congress and the President have received negative reactions. Women in politics Women have been consistently underrepresented in politics since the creation of the United States, women were not allowed to vote until the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, and all women did not get the right to vote until 1965 with the passage of the Voting Rights Act. However, the number of women in politics has been increasing since then. Arizona has had the most female governors, but states like California, Florida, and New York have yet to see a female governor. In Congress, the Democratic Party that had three times the number of female nominees for congressional and gubernatorial positions compared to the Republican Party.

于2019年，在任的共和党州长共有27位，而民主党州长则有23位。自1990年以来，共和党和民主党州长的数量一直处于波动之中，民主党州长的数量在2018年至2019年间呈现显著增长。在州长们的民意评价方面，截至2019年12月，最受欢迎的前十名州长均为共和党人，而在最不受欢迎的前十名州长中，有六位为民主党人，其中包括纽约州州长安德鲁·库默。然而，在COVID-19疫情爆发期间，库默在他的州内获得了来自两党的好评。在全美各州，州长们在应对乔治·弗洛伊德抗议活动方面的表现总体上获得了居民的积极评价，而国会成员和总统则遭到了负面反应。在政治领域，女性一直处于代表性不足的状态，自美国成立以来，女性直到1920年通过第十九修正案才被允许投票，而直到1965年《投票权法案》的通过，所有女性才获得了投票权。然而，自那时起，女性在政治领域的数量一直在增加。亚利桑那州拥有最多的女性州长，但加利福尼亚州、佛罗里达州和纽约州至今尚未出现女性州长。在国会中，民主党相较于共和党在国会和州长职位上的女性候选人数量是其三倍。
