Durham

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

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.

Other than those majority Black counties in North West NC

It's actually North East NC. Unlike Durham, the whites in those areas are socially conservative.

Durham NC is very poor isn't it?

Parts (ie: the black areas) are, but the students and the research bits aren't

It has some very poor areas, but also has one of the highest concentrations of PhD's in the U.S.
