from Vox Day again...
Joe Biden received in total 1% more votes than Hillary in ‘16 In the cities of: Austin, Houston, Dallas, New York, Buffalo, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Cleveland, Seattle, Denver, Baltimore, St. Louis, and Portland.
Trump improved his vote total in these cities by 13%!
The story changes however in the cities of Milwaukee, Atlanta, Phoenix, Detroit, and Philadelphia.
In these cities Biden’s vote total is (so far) 21% higher than Clinton in ‘16. Trump also improved his vote total by 21%.
So in most major cities (all very blue) in states who’s votes were never seriously in doubt Trump improved his performance substantially while Biden did basically the same as Clinton 4 years prior. BUT, in the 5 cities that could swing the 5 states that could swing the election, Biden did DRAMATICALLY better than Clinton and was able to keep pace with with Trump who also did dramatically better than he had in ‘16
I will grant Phoenix, as it's McCain Country there. Yet I still believe Trump pulls out AZ.
Thanks for your interesting comments, grey_whiskers. I’m going to watch for more of your analysis in the coming days. Good stuff!
