Well, when your opponent is anti-free trade, too, I guess you can vote on other things, huh? Smiley

Eh, I would argue that Hillary flip-flopped so much that she can't really be called consistently anti-free trade, of course Trump has also flip-flopped on most things too so w/e...

-No; some sections of the country will always support protection, even if they understand free trade is good for the general population.

This is my more accurate map (gray states either don't care strongly one way or the other or would have their partisans flip based on what the current party leader was saying, LOL):

-Iowa and South Dakota are not pro-free-trade states.

Best guess.  10 Clinton states and 16 Trump states.

I'll go ahead and say, though, that the only ones I'm sure about are the Plains states and corn belt being in favor and the MI-OH-KY-WV-PA region being against.

IA (especially.) & SC are not pro-free trade states.

I'd like to see the evidence on Iowa.  Clinton was, vocally, a protectionist; the state swinging to Trump is not evidence of being anti-free trade, and the large agricultural section is very pro-free trade.

-So why did it swing for Trump by such a large margin, then? I agree with you Indiana is pro-free-trade, but that's because it went for Bush 2004 by more than it did for Trump 2016. Iowa and Ohio were both more pro-Kerry than the national popular vote.

I think you're going to find surveys soon enough that Iowa is not pro-free-trade.

I think that you could make Indiana and maybe Missouri red on this map and Georgia green.

-GA's definitely green; Missouri's probably red, but Indiana should be grey or green.
