Yeah, I knew it was pretty close percentage wise. Boone just gets a rap for being "ultra-liberal" and I wouldn't say that's necessarily the case. It certainly leans that way and the City of Columbia is probably 60/40 liberal, but the rest of the county is pretty conservative. As always, the University kooks gum up the works.
It last went GOP for President in 2004, by a narrow plurality, 49.7-49.5%. It last voted by a plurality for Senator (Blunt) in 2010 (49-45%). Not since 1988 has it voted GOP for Governor.
If Trump’s performance is what we believe it to be and carries the general, I expect he stands a good chance at carrying Boone this year by a narrow margin.
