Despite the many predictions that donald trumps presence atop the ticket would result in a surge of split ticket voting where voters cast a vote for a party at top of the ticket and a different. by three points even as they appeared to reject their governor. appear because two full weeks after the election day the incumbent governor pat mccrory is refusing to concede. he trails roy cooper by over 6,000 votes. a deficit that has only grown since election night. remember, this is a state where, fo...

Also the other races in missouri. >> missouri tightened and would be a loss republicans werent expecting. same with north carolina. missouri, north carolina and nevada are sort of the states that no one thought would be particularly in the mix that all are in the mix, which is so 2016 at this point. >> what could be surprising? my surprise mis evan. >> in 2004, we were talking about him being the next president of the united states at one point. now he is probably not going to eek out the win in...

As donald trump has lost ground in those philly suburbs with college educated white women, pat toomey needs those voters. if they vote for hillary clinton or dont vote at the top of the ticket, they need him to vote for him to pull this out. its a tough ask. >> one of the underreported facts about the senate race is that each senate campaign to everlasting credit has its own get out to vote operation. interesting factor will be split ticket voting. does hillary clinton turn out republican senate...

Competitive race, 85% or more of the obama voters voted democratic, 85% of the romney voters voted republican. that so problematic for republicans, because theyre defending so many seats where trump is struggling the most, including wisconsin, illinois, new hampshire, pennsylvania, north carolina to a lesser extent. what that means, if the correlation holds, to the level we saw in 2012, it will be very hard for the republican senate nominees to get enough split ticket voting to overcome the hole...

From the beginning of this general election, the senate candidates have been running from 2 points to 10 points to now, i think, rob portman is running 16 points ahead of donald trump in some of these polls. so voters are differentiating between their senate candidates and the presidential. i do think well see quite a bit of split ticket voting. that being said, of course, donald trump isnt running as a republican. thats why he felt more than willing to attack republicans up and down the ballot ...

Campaign committee chairman, nice to see you. thanks for being with us from vegas now. hillary clinton as we have been reporting spent time trying to woo diseffected republican voters to vote for her by saying donald trump doesnt represent their party. essentially encouraged what people call split ticket voting. theres concerted effort to tie donald trump to republicans down ballot. is the shift too late the difference for down ballot democrats? >> peter, great to be with you as well. quite hone...

Now to the where. its michigan where straight party ticket voting is now officially gone. governor rick snyder signed a bill today meaning theres only nine states left that do it. when you can just pull the lever straight d, straight r, of course, straight d.c. party. now to the when. its january 18th, when the british parliament will debate a petition to ban donald trump from the uk. more than half a million have signed a petition to ban him after his proposal to ban muslims from the united sta...

In state with red state america. pockets we dont think about and ignore when we label illinois a blue state and pencil it in for the democratic candidate every four years and never give it much thought beyond that. this is the other story of the great sorting out of america. over the last few generations, the two two political parties sorted themselves out ideologically and voters have slowly but surely figured it out. split ticket voting is increasingly a thing of the past. more and more voters...

And dramatic reasons. it synced conservative voters with republicans and moderate and liberal voters with democrats. it helped -- excuse me, helped turn the split ticket voting into a thing of the past. for example in 1995, 79 house members were from districts that president clinton won in the previous presidential election. today, the number of republicans from obama districts is 17. it raises the question, 1995 is the obvious point of comparison for the shutdown today. but are there any lesson...
