It was a shift from 1988 to 2008 . Bush in 1988 performed around Ford levels in the North East or just slightly better despite winning big nationally and in 1992 Bill Clinton became the first dem other than LBJ to sweep the North East . Then in 1996 states like NJ and CT which were still relatively close went solid D so much of the north east had shifted by then .
In the Bush years you saw for example many northern suburbs continue to shift D but Bush made it up by doing better in rural areas there so it looked on paper that he did better but the liberal areas such as the Philli burbs clearly moved left in those years and then it solidified in 2008 when the PNW went solid D as well.
