downtick

Some opponents have brought up concerns about job losses, specifically in the US, which despite global growth during the pandemic, saw a downtick in employment.

There was a slight downtick in the number of Democratic and swing districts after that assessment, but the pattern by 2013 was consistent with the period before the lines were redrawn.

So while this downtick in public perception hasn’t hurt Cunningham’s horse-race numbers, we can’t rule out the possibility that it will have a negative effect once votes are counted.
