After this election, will there be a time when the GOP wins at some of the top 10 most populous states by more than 10+% points?

Seems like the current 10 most populous states are either solidly democrat or toss-up states.

Texas in 2024 if its a strong GOP year, and maybe Florida in a wave year as well if Democrats completely triage the state

Edit: Ohio for sure(forget it was a top 10 most populated state)

Nah, I think the San Antonio, Dallas, Austin and Houston suburbs will continue to trend D, which would keep Texas on the mid-single digits.

And Florida is too inelastic to go beyond 10%

Keep in mind trends slow down in years the party holds control of the WH and even then I mentioned a strong GOP year which would require them to win the popular vote by 2-3 points.

As For Florida, Marco Rubio won by 9 points in 2016 so say if the GOP nominee is Rubio in 2024 the Democrats could triage the state and if its a GOP wave year its possible even though hard for Florida to be 10%+.


Now if for some reason a left wing populist ala 1896 takes over the Dem nomination in 2024(like an AOC) there is a possibility that just like in 1896 trends that were going against the Dem party continue to go against them while trends that were going in their favor for the previous 16 years swing back hard towards the GOP which would result in a GOP landslide and in that scenario Republicans wins nationally by 6-7 points and potentially take PA MI by double digits(Albeit this scenario is very unlikely but its not impossible)

Ohio seems like an obvious choice in a good GOP year. TX is possible. The rest are pretty unlikely.

OH wont even need a good gop year as I think even in a narrow Dem win , Ohio would vote for the GOP by double digits
