States that have trended the same way three consecutive times

[twenty42]

I don't read too much into trends. It is a very flukey stat that is heavily affected by strong national swings.

Look at 2008. 23 states plus D.C. trended Republican despite the nation swinging Democratic by nearly 10 points. It is the law of averages that a lot of states will move closer to the median in the event of a massive swing in the opposite direction.
