Red, but not totally into that Trump's America thing: Douglas County, Colorado


Why didn't Trump win Colorado?  (Magellan Strategies, 1/18/2017)
What we can see is a clear sign of Trump’s unpopularity in counties with higher median household incomes, led by Douglas County, Colorado with a median household income of over $100,000. While Donald Trump still won Douglas County, he only received 54.7% of the vote compared to Romney’s 62.1% in 2012. Most of Colorado’s larger, more well off counties follow this pattern, with, again, the only outliers being Adams and Weld.
