That's the way they look at it. These are not isolated races. Trends attach everywhere. If the wave is enough to push Beto over the line in a state with 44% self-identified conservatives, then Abrams will win in a state with 40% conservatives and Gillum will win in a state with 36% conservatives.

For reference, Beto is roughly a 7/2 underdog while Abrams is 3/2 underdog and Gillum is 3/2 favorite.
