That's a good question. It seems to be pretty recent, here is a good article about it:

Actually a friend of mine who doesn't follow the news regularly was sure that Red was democrats and Blue Republicans because he saw one Poll map where this was the case... Indeed I checked and I don't remember where but at least one American news organization was using Red for democrats at some point during the 2004 campaign.
