(46,155 posts)For all but two of the states, Biden is in the lead. So, why are so many of them red in the last column? What does "lean, relative to nation" mean?
Okay, I get it now. The blue ones are more pro-Biden than his overall lead. The red ones are smaller advantages than his overall lead. I don't know why that should be the most interesting statistic. However, it does seem to make the blue ones even stronger leads.
