An interesting snippet from a scholarly paper (emphases mine):
"Rural sprawl can be understood as a demographic manifestation of conservative America’s rejection of the social and economic movements of the 1960s. Much of this rejection involved chastising urban centers and solidifying political bases in the suburbs. However, like the movement to escape core cities during the 1950s and 60s, the last three decades have seen a shift by many of conservative America’s members to remove themselves further from core cities and even abandoned suburbs that once seemed to them like the ultimate place of freedom, away from liberal ideas and people"

I thought it would be interesting to find out. A comment from an article I was reading prompted me to do this poll and I thought perhaps there is something to it.
I just want to clarify first off that I had made a similar thread about a year ago. I made a mistake not adding "Moderates" to the poll and I wanted to take the opportunity to try this poll once again to get much more clear, balanced, and varied opinions.
most of the population centers such as cities tend to vote democrat. while all the acreage and small town USA tend to vote republican.
if the electoral college was 1 vote per county in the USA, then no democrat would ever get elected to potus.
