Title: Durham Post by: Democratic Hawk on September 13, 2004, 12:27:16 PM Being from Durham UK, I'm curious as to know if Durham, North Carolina is Democrat or Republican.
Are there any other Durham's in the US and, if so, do you know what there political colours are? Thanks Dave Title: Re:Durham Post by: ATFFL on September 13, 2004, 12:47:15 PM Being from Durham UK, I'm curious as to know if Durham, North Carolina is Democrat or Republican.

Possibly the most reliable area of the state for the democrats. Title: Re:Durham Post by: Filuwaúrdjan on September 13, 2004, 01:57:23 PM Durham NC is a pretty heavily democrat area.

Possibly the most reliable area of the state for the democrats. I live right near Durham, NC and it is reliably Democratic, because of the black population and the universities in/near it. Durham and its surrounding areas are really the only areas in the South where white liberals can get elected to Congress or state legislature.

The poorest area (under $10,000 per capita annual income) in the entire city is the Duke campus! I guess poor college students filled out census forms there. :-) |
