Compared to Obama's reelection win, a lot of Democratic Senate candidates did quite poorly this year. Several Dem incumbents considerably underperformed him. On the other hand, candidates like Mark Kelly and Barbara Bollier had terrific performances.
Massachusetts didn't see a ton of ticket splitting between President and Senate but there was some. There were 14 precincts that voted for Biden and Kevin O'Connor (R) and 39 that voted for both Trump and Markey. In terms of towns that translated to 2 DEM/GOP and 11 GOP/Dem.
The Trump/Markey precincts are pretty much blue collar areas.
Biden/O'Connor towns: Hanover and Sutton.
Trump/Markey towns: Ashby, Dracut, Hubbardston, Leicester, Ludlow, New Braintree, Palmer, Swansea, West Bridgewater, Ware, and Winchendon.
West Virginia was pretty much a bloodbath for downballot Democrats this year but State Delegate Brent Boggs handily won reelection to his 83% rural district in central WV. A member of the NRA, Boggs was first elected to the House in 1996.
