It's not really correct to associate the views of a population with the views their elected officials represent. For one thing, for at least the last 6 years, "red" and "blue" have only been separated by a handful of votes in many states. Additionally, sometimes (granted, rarely) elected representitives win with less than a majority. Lastly, sometimes there are one-issue voters who may agree with their elected representative on the one important issue might not be in alignment on anything else.
