For CT that was interesting to me. While the overall in the U.S Rural areas went for Trump, Some CT rural areas didn't. But some were close. North Canaan 732 votes Hillary. 703 Trump. 29 vote difference.

Interesting that a lot of traditionally Republican-leaning wealthy towns went pretty strongly Clinton for this race.

I haven't looked at the stats, but I would guess the reason for this is because higher income and/or people with higher education voted for Clinton in greater numbers than Trump. These areas of CT certainly contain plenty high income / higher educated people.

Actually, I think this is the case for the entire nation. Income/education level was the dividing line.

Guess the protestors causing riots are higher educated people too.

Big City vs Rural was the theme with this election, with CT the exception. You can clearly see the bigger cities voting for Hillary as I pointed out before.

I'm going to assume your trying to be a wise guy, but I don't see how you can extrapolate that given the numbers of protesters.

Approx 120,000,000 votes were cast, I doubt even 1% of the population is protesting. 1% would represent 1,200,000 people and we certainly don't have that many people protesting in the streets.
I would even guess that some of those protesters didn't vote.

All things considering Trump actually did quite well in CT despite losing to Clinton. Not sure the exact numbers, 200,000 difference? Certainly not a landslide by any means.

Clinton was +15% in CT overall. Not sure how that aligns with previous presidential elections, but my gut is that +15% is a low margin of victory for CT.

Interesting map

I'm surprised fairfield county is more democratic than eastern CT. I figured fairfield county would be the most republican leaning part of the state followed by the NW part.

So funny if you look at CT, VT, and MA vs the rest of country. Why CT and these states have to be so blue? Lol. Even Maine has more red and California.
