So this is an interesting one, musically based and from Google Trends but looked sorta coherent. This is if there was a Presidential election between rapper Rich Homie Quan (D) vs. country singer Chase Rice (R) vs. DJ David Guetta (I) vs. indie artist Owl City (O) and if interest for each over the past 12 months on Google indicated support. The percentages are also correct.
Guetta and Quan are nearly tied in terms of electoral votes. Quan holds down the south easily, getting over 70% in Mississippi and 60% in Georgia. Truly the candidate of the deep south here, and wins several other upper south states with smaller margins. Guetta, on the other hand, performs well in the urbanized coastal regions, crossing 50% in Nevada and 40% in California, New York, and New Jersey.
Behind those two is Chase Rice, who, surprisingly to me, lost the south and found most of his strength in the midwest and mid-Atlantic. Has strong support in parts of the plains and rural northeast, but lukewarm support elsewhere, even if he wins.
Coming in last is Owl City, who performs particularly well in the Pacific northwest and interior west, but is mostly crowded out elsewhere.
This was fun to make.
