It's been trending conservative actually.
80 Reagan won it with <1% over his natioanl average
84 Reagan won it with +1% over his national average
88 Bush won it with +2% over his national average.
92 Bush lost it with +4% over his national average
96 Dole lost it with +4% over his national average
00 Bush won it with +8% over his national average
In 2000, Bush won by 15% in Kentucky vs a National average of -0.51% - How did you calculate it to be 8% over his national average. Are you taking half the gap for your calculation? (as in +8 for GOP then -8 for the Dems?)
