56 factoids on the 2016 election for lovers of political trivia, including this gem of the growing Cracker Barrel-Whole Foods gap.
Quote:
5. Trump won the White House by winning 76 percent of counties with a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store and 22 percent of counties with a Whole Foods Market. This 54-percent gap is the widest ever recorded. When Bill Clinton was elected in 1992, it was 19 percent; when George W. Bush was elected in 2000, it was 31 percent; and when Barack Obama was elected in 2008, it was 43 percent.
3. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton carried the popular vote by more than 2.8 million votes, and 2.1 percentage points. But while she narrowly improved on President Obama's margin in non-swing states (4.1% vs. 4.0%), she vastly underperformed in the 13 swing states that actually mattered: Obama's 3.6-percent margin in those states morphed into a 1.8-percent Trump lead.
The country bumpkin vote. Being in FL, the land of Cracker Barrels, I know exactly the voter profile this is talking about. Surprised Obama got that high of a vote percentage.
My county is one of the wealthiest in the country. We have a Cracker Barrel and a Whole Foods. We also have a well educated citizenry. My county weby overwhelmingly for Trump 63%-28%

Unless you live in the same county as me that makes 2.
17. 60 percent of all general election presidential spots on broadcast TV were anti-Trump, while only 20 percent were anti-Clinton. (courtesy: Kantar Media/CMAG)
80% Negative ads and 75% of them was anti-Trump... on top of all the anti-Trump propaganda from the liberal networks and press... Merry Christmas...
My favorite factoid is that Hillary and her shills were taken to he woodshed.
