it’s not determinative. It’s obviously relevant, as shown among other ways by impassioned cries from Trumpworld that it’s “IRRELEVANT!!”
People on both sides whine over that irrelevant number. It is NOT indicative of anything. People in solid states (red or blue) who only care about President may not go vote if the know the other party will get the state's electoral votes. That is especially true if there is bad weather, long lines, they had to work late or something else came up. Conversely, if there is a tight race elsewhere on the ballot that can draw people in who decide to vote for President while there.
I understand you don't want to admit it is irrelevant...but that's a you problem. And you may want to consider counseling related to your fixation on everything Trump.
