But New Hampshire trended to left big time in 2004-2008
North Carolina also trended right 2012-2016
How did these states trend left and right?
According to my calculations (based off of Atlas election results), New Hampshire was D+3.84 in 2004 (Kerry won it by 1.37 and Bush won nationally by 2.47) and D+2.35 in 2008 (Obama won it by 9.61 and he won nationally by 7.26). North Carolina was R+5.90 in 2012 (Romney won it by 2.04 and Obama won nationally by 3.86) and R+5.75 in 2016 (Trump won it by 3.66 and Clinton won nationally by 2.09).
