Living near Phoenix, I would never in my wildest dream call Phoenix a “conservative” city.
Looking at the biggest cities in America, where would Phoenix rate among the top 10 in terms of being conservative?
Here is the list, in terms of size:
1. New York, New York (8,200,000)
2. Los Angeles, California (3,800,000)
3. Chicago, Illinois (2,700,000)
4. Houston, Texas (2,100,000)
5. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (1,500,000)
6. Phoenix, Arizona (1,500,000)
7. San Antonio, Texas (1,400,000)
8. San Diego, California (1,300,000)
9. Dallas, Texas (1,200,000)
10. San Jose, California (1,000,000)
In 2012, Maricopa County voted for Romney with 55% of the vote. Every other city on this list, including the three from Texas, voted for Obama.
Phoenix is the most conservative of the top ten cities in the U.S.
