So then we’re talking 3 elections hardly a solid trend. Take a look at the legislature as well.
2009 McConnell (R) 17 points 58.6. Deeds 41.3
2013 McAuliffe (D) 3 points 47.8 Cuccinelli 45.2 6.5 for Sarvis, Libertarian
2017 Northam (D) 9 points 53.86 Gillespie 44.98
Democrats only took control of the House of Delegates in 2017. I will concede it’s trending blue but still a very purple state. Northam’s margin was a blowback on Trump
