Yeah, what’s up with Utah?
Is that map a change from 2012 to 2016? Utah looks like it went Dem, but was really a change from Romney to McMullin with the Dems staying about the same.
I just looked up the Utah numbers. It went from 73 R-25 D in 2012 to 46 R- 27 D - 22 McMullin. So the margin dropped by 29 points making that Utah look blue in that map.
No kidding. Other evidence might be to look at why they have lost 1000 seats in 8 years - if they were honest with themselves. Try doing honest polls, with honest data, and doing honest analysis and then they might get a clue (I do not expect this to happen, I expect nothing to change).
Linked the wrong map.
The proportion is good enough for this purpose but wrong.
It seems like I can’t find the county map of 2016 that were everywhere recently.
Thanks for pointing it out.
As if Mrs. Bill Clinton and/or Bernie Sanders would have changed their policy plans to move towards the rural white voters.

There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.
We don’t trust pollsters. I’m “rural white” and I do not answer ANY polls, written or phoned. NONE. They’ll just take my answers and twist them, so why waste my time in the only life God has given me? I’d rather be shooting, hunting, or building something than talking to these liars.

Polls
Period
They can all just wait for the only Poll that counts.
H->!’s poll numbers went up when she was not in the public eye. Campaigning made her numbers go down. There’s your problem right there.
The commie ‘Rats need to become one with Thomas Jefferson or give it up.
>> Polling blindspot
I have no problem with Democrats fighting hard, but the ‘polling’ was a Media job facilitated by major corporations such as Disney, Comcast, and Time Warner.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat. Don’t patronize the enabling, parent companies.
Utah is ‘rat?
So, McMac screwed up Utah. That makes sense. McMac is a ‘rat....
They would be shocked to learn that there are millions of voters who don’t even have a Facebook account!
Bad map.
The Russians changed it after I posted.
