The game of reading political outcomes is more art than science, especially at the national level. Election results turn on hundreds or thousands of policy and campaign margins. There is no one deciding issue. But some float to the top. My colleague Ruy Teixeira persuasively identifies four cultural and policy issues through which the progressive left handed a victory to Donald Trump, for example. Behind the billowy skirts of that caveat, I’ll float an electoral margin that I think might be salient.
