I don't think we can cite a trend when the last two, soon to be there rounds have been with Trump on the R side. A sizable part of the gains can be attributed to people desperately looking to keep him out rather than any grand shift in attitudes of the state.

Look at the results for Governor and that with the way they've behaved on immigration, abortion, educational standards. That should be more telling.
