This is an ANALYTICAL INDEX, not endorsements.
Scores are –5 to +5 (how “American Proletariat–aligned” the figure is for their state’s wage-earner reality, not ideology).

For the 5 most populous states (CA, TX, FL, NY, PA) → Top 5 + 1 “national narrative” bonus.
All other states → Top 2 + 1 bonus.
Then DC + Puerto Rico.

Ultra-concise per entry to keep this usable as a reference.
