Liberal Big Cities: Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Akron, & Youngstown
Conservative Big Cities: Cincinnati, Dayton, Springfield
Moderate: Canton, Mansfield, Middletown, Hamilton
It doesn't seem accurate that Cincinnati would be considered more conservative than a couple of its satellite cities, which are less diverse and have a more traditional industry based economy. Voting patterns comparing Hamilton County (Cincinnati) vs. Butler County (Middletown & Hamilton cities) certainly do not suggest this.
Most Liberal:
Cambridge
Wellesley
Boston
Salem
Somerville
Brookline
Newton
Northampton
Provincetown
Most Conservative:
Nantucket
Seekonk
Raynham
Fitchburg
What's the basis for this?
In the last Presidential Election, these were the top 5 MA towns for either candidate:
Clinton:
Cambridge: 89.2% Clinton | 6.5% Trump
Provincetown: 88.1% Clinton | 8.8% Trump
Brookline: 84.9% Clinton | 11.1% Trump
Somerville: 84.6% Clinton | 10.5% Trump
Amherst: 84.1% Clinton | 8.6% Trump
Trump:
Tolland: 61.9% Trump | 32.9% Clinton
Russell: 58.5% Trump | 33.9% Clinton
Blandford: 58% Trump | 36.8% Clinton
Southwick: 57.3% Trump | 36.1% Clinton
Granville: 57.2% Trump | 35% Clinton
In 2016, Nantucket (by a 65-30% margin), Raynham, and Seekonk (but neighboring Rehoboth and Swansea went to Trump) all went to Clinton. Westfield is the only CITY in MA that voted for Trump and that was by a 48-44% margin. So I guess you could say Westfield is the most conservative city and I'd say that much of Central MA and Southeast MA would be the more conservative regions. Take a look at the interactive map.
Liberal: Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth
Conservative: None
St. Cloud is the "conservative" city in Minnesota. It's in the heart of Minnesota's 6th Congressional District (formerly Michele Bachmann territory) and people in St. Cloud have a history of intolerance with the Somali community. The New York times even wrote a piece about the right-wing racism that plagues society there.
Republicans win most of the high population counties in SC and close to 50 percent in Charleston County I believe.
Even if the urban area residents are majority Democrat, there are a ton of suburban Republicans working in the urban areas and in the downtown area after work and on weekends.
Main Street in Greenville would be pretty dead without Republican suburban residents going down there.

Perhaps so in SC, but in Louisiana, Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina that isn’t the case.
