Like Cobb, Nassau and Suffolk are very wealthy and have a very high percentage of college educated.
Cobb County as the most-educated in the state of Georgia and 12th among all counties in the US. It has ranked among the top 100 highest-income counties in the United States.
Nassau County is one of the most expensive counties and one of the highest income counties in the United States, and the most affluent in the state of New York, with four of the nation’s top ten towns by median income located in the county.
Those are the places where Trump performed the most poorly as far as the swing from 2016. He did better in Nassau than he did in Cobb though.

Nassau was always divided between an affluent north shore (ie north of Hillside Avenue or the Northen State Parkway depending on who you talk to) and a more blue collar to mid level white collar South Shore. My elementary school had a lot of kids whose families were in the building trades or civil service. Back then (1980s) it was overwhelmingly white outside of a few middle class black enclaves (Lakeview, Hempstead, Roosevelt), and even the white towns were divided between the Catholic towns and Jewish towns. Since that time, the blue collar whites have migrated out of south shore Nassau east to central Suffolk County, increasingly replaced by Hispanics, South Asians, and Caribbean blacks. The western part of the North Shore (Great Neck peninsula and Roslyn especially) was heavily Jewish in my youth but has now seen a large influx of Koreans moving over from Queens, who in turn followed the Persian Jews who moved there in the 1980s.
SE Nasssu (middle of middle class) and Oyster Bay (upper middle to upper class) still have a lot of white Catholics but that will probably evolve as alot of those folks leave the state.
