Ambrosius, J. D.
(2016).
Clinton performed very well in most urban areas relative to Obama, despite losin the Rustbelt — and the Presidency with it.
Despite talk of collapsed Democrat support for Clinton, her performance in urban areas was very strong this presidential election. As Joshua D. Ambrosius argues however, her loss to Donald Trump highlights the weakness of Democrats’ urban-centric appeal, given the new-found GOP capacity to mobilise masses of rural working class and suburban Americans.
