Registration Influence
WVPartisan-lean baseline for WV. Each party's share is the slow-moving registered-voter influence, not a vote-share guarantee. Voters still need persuasion to turn out and vote with their lean.
DEM68.4% lean11.0% movable
FLP31.6% lean17.3% movable
MCPUS0.0% lean20.0% movable
The movable figure is the share of each party's own vote that campaigning can shift in one cycle. A large lean means a large starting base and a small movable slice.
Persuasion Drivers
WVWhy WV voters lean toward Lyndon B. Johnson over Vladimir Iskra. Each driver is signed: + = lift, − = drag. Drivers are relative within this list and only move the persuadable slice of each party's vote, so their real effect is small. Coattail rows are direct share tilts in %. A raw vote lead does not equal the sum of these bars.

Incumbency0.0 pts
Ceiling this cycle: at most 20.0% of Vladimir Iskra's vote can be persuaded across to Lyndon B. Johnson, and 20.0% of Lyndon B. Johnson's vote can be persuaded away. Registration lean sets the starting split and how hard a party is to move, not the final share. These drivers add up to 0.0 pts of that movable slice.
