<upd_detl>I don't think "stronghold" is quite the right word. It's defined as
1. A place that has been fortified so as to protect it against attack
2. A place where a particular cause or belief is strongly defended or upheld
I think it's more like "constituency; support (electoral, etc.)" 
It corresponds to Kodansha's 勢力の範囲.
Anyway, I don't think that sense should come at the head of the definition.
Example:
当地では近年共和党の地盤沈下が続いている
The Republicans have been losing support here recently.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>Kodansha:
地盤 [じばん] 
(1)大地の表面。地殻(ちかく)。ground &lt;用例&gt; ～沈下。
(2)建造物などの基礎となる土地。土台。foundation
(3)物事の根拠地。勢力の範囲。base &lt;用例&gt; ～をかためる。

<upd_detl>The refs are all over the place with sense splits. GG5 and 中辞典 combine ground/crust/etc. with foundation/base, but Daijirin and Kodansha split. Daijr has "bed" in with the earthy one, which makes sense. GG5 splits footing/foothold and support/constituency, but 中辞典 combines them.
I think the above works OK without getting too messy.
GG5 has ちばん as a reading; Daijr just mentions it.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>"foundation (institution)" suggests that it can mean "an institution established with an endowment" 
(like 財団). But I don't think that's true, is it? What is meant by "institution" here, actually?</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I was a bit quick scanning Daijirin's "施設・建造物など...". 施設 is rather physical. Better drop that.</upd_detl>
