The Democrats won 15 times , in 1884,1892,1912,1916,1932,1936,1940,1944,1948,1960,1964,1976,1992,1996 and 2008. They elected 9 different presidents.
The pre-civil war Democrats won 6 times, in 1828,1832,1936,1844,1852 and 1856 and elected 5 different presidents.
Elected Republican presidents outnumber modern Democrats 16 to 9.
Counting elections, Republicans won 23 to 16 starting in 1860.
Those 9 Democrats are :
1) Grover Cleveland, 2) Woodrow Wilson, 3) Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 4) Harry S. Truman, 5) John F. Kennedy, 6) Lyndon B. Johnson , 7) Jimmy Carter, 8 )Bill Clinton, 9) Barack Obama
The 17 Republicans include, in order:
1) Abraham Lincoln, 2) Ulysses S. Grant, 3) Rutherford B. Hayes, 4) James Garfield, 5) Benjamin Harrison, 6) William McKinley, 7) Theodore Roosevelt, 8) William Taft, 9) Warren G. Harding, 10) Calvin Coolidge, 11) Herbert Hoover, 12) Dwight D. Eisenhower, 13) Richard Nixon, 14) Ronald Reagan, 15) George H. W. Bush, 16) George W. Bush
Before there was a Republican party, Andrew Jackson's Democratic party which had little connection to the modern Democratic party, won six elections and elected five presidents, namely Jackson, Van Buren, Polk, Pierce and Buchanan. Buchanan actually defeated the first national Republican candidate in 1856.
If you exclude the Democratic-Republicans, Whigs, Federalist and those that ran without a party you have Democrats at 16, and Republicans at 18. Whigs have had 4, Federalist 1, Democratic-Republicans had 4 and George Washington did not belong to a political party.
The Republicans are leading by a score of 8 to 7.
