Is New Hampshire a Swing State Anymore?

Slate  

In the 2016 presidential election, New Hampshire’s four electoral votes were won by the second-smallest margin of all the states: Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump by just 0.4 percentage points. Today, according to the FiveThirtyEight New Hampshire polling average, Joe Biden is leading by 11.4 points, making the state’s four-year swing away from Trump one of the most dramatic in the country. I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that Mitt Romney, the ultimate Mitt Romney type, lost New Hampshire in 2012 by a much wider margin than Trump did in 2016. Is New Hampshire one of those states that’s seen a lot of centrists and passive Democrats get extra fired up and involved in political activities since Trump’s election?
