The anomaly persists, so the underlying statistical model must be faulty. At least, in the Age of Trump.

I am playing devil’s advocate here: By defining themselves as the obstruction party do democrats realise that trump can blame the country’s lack of progress all on them? If I am a smart democrat and I truly believe trump is a stupid loser I would love to get out of trump’s way to allow him to get everything in his agenda passed. The only way democrats can show everyone in the country that trump is truly an idiot like they believed is to have everyone of his policies passed and failing miserably.

The problem with that is the Democrats in leadership (not the sock puppets in Congress, BTW), absolutely know that the conservative policies Trump is (sometimes and rather sporadically) implementing do, in fact, work better than the Dem’s agendas.
They don’t dare let the people discover that, and would rather keep the status quo even if they get some mud on their face doing it.

I know he is a Democrat, but he is usually better than that on acknowledging the basic facts of a situation and examining them with statistical integrity.But even Silver is ignoring the furious million dollar paddling that is going on underneath the surface to prop up the narrative because that is what the folks who read the Times want to hear. I grew up a card carrying member of the Eastern Intellectual Establishment and got my ‘news’ from the NY Times so I know how the mindset works. You read the source you know is sane and solid to be reassured your world view is sane and solid. I first noticed the delta between the Timesworld and Realworld when Castro turned out to be a Marxist-Leninist instead of the Social Democrat they reported him to be. Recently that delta has been converging with infinity.

I love seeing Dems spend a whole lot of money to come in second place.

And Republicans have another woman in Congress so there’s that thing going on too.
