Couple notes:
- Yes, Indiana's self-described urban voters voted 50-46% for Trump. I think Indiana, while having a fair number of Democrats across the state, is actually going to be one of the hardest states for Democrats to win in almost any realignment we'd see in the next 30-40 years ... the state, at least to me, seems to have more of a Great Plains-esque attachment to the GOP than an Arkansas-like one.
- While Virginia's self-described suburban voters did vote 48-47% for Trump, I thought everyone would like to know that self-described "DC Suburbs" voters went 68-27% for Hillary, and self-described "DC Exurbs" voters went 48-46% for Hillary ... must have been a lot of Republican suburban voters down in Richmond, Virginia Beach, etc.
- Only two states had over 60% of their self-described suburban voters vote Democratic: California and ... Nevada.
- Only two states had their self-described rural voters vote Democratic: Washington and ... South Carolina.
- The following states had their self-described suburban voters vote at least as far to the right or further than their rural voters ... any ideas why? Here they are:
- Arizona
- Maine
- New Hampshire
- North Carolina
- South Carolina
ME and NH rural areas are the most progressive of all rural states outside of Alaska. Arizona has Native Americans driving most of its rural population. Not sure on NC and SC.
Also contrary to what the exit polls say, Clinton did not get 60% in the suburbs in NV and I'd be surprised if she lost them in VA.
