drawn with the southern boundary being about the 40 and a half north and the 94 and a half meridian west.

It seems that the areas north and east of that boundary are either dem leaning or swing areas while those to the west tend to be fairly conservative.

The areas outside of this line BTW would be Missouri Kansas Nebraska, the Dakotas, western Iowa and Minnesota and the central and southern parts of OH, IL and IN.
