Nevada also voted for three democratic elections, but it was much closer in 2016 with a Clinton lead of 2.4 points. New Mexico has become a democrat in six of the last seven elections. Clinton won by 8.3 percentage points in 2016. New Hampshire also voted Democratic in six out of seven elections, but it was much closer in 2016, Clinton ahead of Trump by less than one. half percentage point.
