How many Clinton counties will Clinton win?

[GMantis]

Seemed appropriate, considering that being the first election since 1996 when there are counties with the same name as one of the candidates (to the probable displeasure of Clinton's opponent, there is no Trump county). Here is the complete list of the nine counties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_County.

For comparison: Bill Clinton won the Clinton counties in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Pennsylvania two times and also won the one in New York in 1996. All subsequent Democratic Presidential candidates won those in IA and NY and Obama also won the one in Michigan in 2008. The Clinton counties in Ohio and Indiana were last carried by a Democrat in 1964. Clinton county, Kentucky has not voted for a Democrat in a Presidential election since 1868.

For those voting zero, I should point that the Democrats have won Clinton county, IA (which is on the Mississippi) every time since 1984 and with over 60% in 2008 and 2012. Clinton county, NY was also won with over 60% in those elections,

The ones in New York and Iowa.

Ironically, Clinton lost all but one of these counties in the primaries, and the one she won (in Kentucky) is easily the least likely to be won in the general election.

So Hillary ended up winning just one Clinton county (the one in New York) and barely at that.
