Trend is the direction a state moves relative to the nation as a whole when comparing the previous election. So let's say Walker wins against Hillary in 2016. Obviously Walker will win Utah but it might only swing a point to Walker compared to Romney's overperformance there while the national vote might swing 5 points compared to 2012. So Utah swings to Walker but trends to Hillary.

Ah, I see, thanks.

Well Bush W. only lost the state 6% in 2004.

John Kerry did bad in the state; it's not that GW did good.
