There really aren’t that many people who actually vote for divided government. It’s just that the party line voters are more or less evenly split so the minority in the middle becomes decisive.

That said, I think a lot of it comes from older voters who came of age politically in a time when compromise was still the norm. I suspect ticket-splitting will continue to decline as the electorate includes more and more people who are influenced by our current era.

I don’t think most people vote for divided government on purpose, but it happens. Especially with staggered terms. And it can also happen when people just don’t vote. Obama didn’t send me my unicorn so I’m staying home in 2010. Trump didn’t build the wall so I’m staying home
