a swing is just the change in margin. For example, if I won a race by 10 points against an incumbent who won by 10 in the last election, that would be a 20 point swing. A trend is how much a place swings compared to the overall swing. For example, if I won a county by 5 when the previous opponent won it by 3 but lost the race by 10, that would be an 18% trend towards my opponent. Does that make sense?
