Depends how you look at the numbers. While there’s definitely some positive increase in the in red states with a modest sub-1% growth rate, they saw a 2% growth rate previously. So on its face it looks like a positive increase but it’s still a negative trend with a -50% reduction of the base line
Conversely, blue states were seeing a -0.5% growth rate but have tightened that to -0.05% so that’s a 10x increase over baseline while still seeing a population decline
