Not really; this seems to be a continuation of Bush-2000 and up trends more than anything. And (unlike FDR and his New Deal liberalism), Trump does not seem to be governing as a big ideological innovator. There wasn't a huge constituency-wise shakeup in the grand scheme of things; the state-by-state correlation with 2012 was .94.

I consider Reagan to be a realigning president (moving the GOP to the right) in the middle of a party system established by Kennedy and Nixon.
