How is it not a landslide? Of the 9 top gainers you listed, only one leans republican (Texas) [1]. All others lean democratic. Of course as pointed out by a sibling, it’s kind of an irrelevant point anyway.

That only reenforces the parent’s hypothesis that intellectuals resent the anti-intellectual bent republicans have taken in recent times. 1. https://news.gallup.com/poll/247025/democratic-states-exceed-republican-states-four-2018.aspx https://news.gallup.com/poll/247025/democratic-states-exceed...
