Only exception in recent years was Bush in 2004, and that was an anomaly.

As to your counter examples, Iowa's a purple state. To generalize a little, As you may know Dems don't always come out to vote in midterms but they are generally very motivated to come out for Presidential ones.

Cheers and best regards.
