Dwight Eisenhower, with re-election in 1956, underperformed his percentage margin in having carried California by over four percentage points. (His margin nationwide was 15.40 percent. His carriage of California was 10.88 percent.)
I've mentioned numerous times that Pennsylvania has had a Democratic tilt in every presidential election after the 1940s.
I think much of this has to do with gradual changes, in party preference, with the voting electorate as there became Republican movement in states which were a part of the base for the Democrats and there became Democratic movement in states which were a part of the base for the Republican Party. (In other words, trendings.)
