For those who didn’t already know, Cuyahoga county is Ohio’s most populous county. Here are the results from 2000 and 2004.

2000:

Gore 359,913 (62.62%)
Bush 192,099 (33.42%)

2004:

Kerry 448,503 (66.57%)
Bush 221,600 (32.89%)

As you can see, the Democrats increased their total votes by 88,590 and their winning margin 51,188. Obama’s goal will be to increase those totals even higher, since he’ll have even less appeal in Ohio’s rural areas in the southeast, central, and western parts of the state.

Has the population of that county increased or decreased? Is it like Philly that loses population every year but the number of voters increases?
