1992 (Not sure how noticeable they were at the time but this is when the trend probably started)
-Virginia swung from a 20 point margin in 1988 to just a 4 point margin in 1992. That was when Virginia first started trending Democrat as well that time by 2.85%.
-Every county in NOVA trended Democrat in 1992 suggesting at least the begging of some kind of a trend, this was mostly counter balanced by a Republican trend in South west Virginia.
-Fairfax county once a stronghold for the GOP was within 3 points, Bush won it by roughly 22 points in 1988.
Here are the trends for some key NOVA counties below in 1992:
Arlington 4.48%
Fairfax 6.86%
Loudoun 8.63%
Prince William 9.30%
