Edit to add: in addition, different politicians will be scattered across the spectrum. A Democrat in Kentucky or Louisiana isn't necessarily the same, ideologically, as a Democrat in New England. Same goes for Republicans. So using the election for one individual is the best comparative category.

It's also a more outdated stat. 

IMO, if we're going to break down things by state we should most likely consider the executive of that state. Especially when POTUS has constantly stated he defers to them.  Unsure how it muddies the waters.
