How much more GOP did you county "swing" from the Bush pV bounce?

[phk]

I live in Fresno, CA

Bush 2000: 53%
Bush 2004: 57.9 (rounding up to 58%)

58% - 53% = 5%

GOP picks up 3% nationwide (48% to 51%)

5% - 3% = 2% swing

2/4 = 0.5% more GOP per year from 2000-2004

(rapid growth of Northeast Suburbs, and very low minority turnout solidifed it for Bush otherwise we would have gone to Kerry 52-48)

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Blue Earth Minnesota:

2000: 47.23%
2004: 47.52%

.29% gain. 2.75% gain nationwide. so a 2.46% swing toward Kerry in this context. .615% more Dem per year.

Although I doubt there was much change demographic wise, just an increase in turnout.

Suffolk, NY

2000:  Bush got 41.99%
2004:  Bush got 48.72%

49% - 42% = 7%

GOP picks up 3% nationwide

7% - 3% =  4% Swing to Bush

That just goes to show how useless it is to compare one area with a national/state average.

Good ol' Baltimore City:

2000:
Gore 82.5% 158,765   
Bush 14.1% 27,150   
Nader 2.9% 5,512   
Other 0.5% 977

2004:
Kerry 82.0% 175,022   
Bush 17.0% 36,230   
Other 1.1% 2,309

Bush gains 2.9% in Baltimore City.

Margin gain right now nationally for Bush is 3.24%, so Bush lost 0.34% compared to 2000.

Not that important.  Bush holding steady in Baltimore City, actually.

King County, WA

2000-34.4% Bush
2004-33.7% Bush

-0.7% minus 3% = -3.7%

[Erc]

My county [Westchester, NY] swung 3.1%.

For a total additional swing of .1%.

[My town, on the other hand, has swung heavily Democrat over the last 4 years]

[King]

Santa Clara 2000: Bush 34.44% (rounds down to 34%)
Santa Clara 2004: Bush 34.7% (rounds up to 35%)

35% - 34% = 1% swing to Bush

Nationwide: 1% - 3% = 2% swing to Kerry

[Nym90]

Marquette County, MI--Bush went from 43% to 45%, so a 1% swing toward the Dems.

[Bogart]

Maricopa County, AZ

Bush 2000- 53.2%

[Beet]

Montgomery county, MD:

Dole 1996- 35.15%

Not only was Bush beaten by Bob Dole here, he was nearly beaten by Barry Goldwater, who got 33.76% here.
