NY (up)state, without New York City, voted for Trump.

I find it fascinating.

NYC: 68-30 Harris-Trump

Rest of state: 49.7-49.3 Trump-Harris

Trump's 0.4% win would make "Rump-NY" the closest swing state (WI was Trump +0.9) ... :)
 
The same in Illinois:

If you remove Cook County (= Chicago) from the state, Rump-Illinois would have voted 52-45 for Trump.

Trump+7 would have made Rump-Illinois the most Trump swing-state, even ahead of Arizona (Trump+6) ...
 
And if you removed the rural votes from most states. Harris would have won in a landslide. Pretty pointless discussion. Now what would be more interesting would be the voting numbers now that voters have actually seen what Trump is doing vs all the lies he told to get elected.

You've discovered the urban/rural divide!!! Call the Nobel committee.

Is there a point to this thread?

It is not just that.

It shows that Illinois is having an even more polarized urban/rural electorate than New York:

Cook County voted 70-28 for Harris and therefore was 2% more Harris than New York City.

On the other hand, Rump-Illinois was Trump+7 ... whereas Rump-New York was only Trump +0.4

So, the worlds between IL urbanites and IL rurals are much further apart than say between NY urbanites and rurals.

It is. You know nothing about the US.

How big is the Trump cult in Austria?

I do.

And I am not a member of a "Trump cult".

I am just pointing out a few things he's doing right (such as on immigration). Where he's miles better than Biden/Harris. The border under Biden/Harris was an open barn door, under Trump it's quiet.

Besides, it seems the Gestapo-Left is running out of ideas and therefore tries to attack Trump and his success on the border etc. --- because they have not a single thing to run on themselves for 2026-2028.

Nah, you got out a calculator in a foolish attempt at showing us what every American already knows. In support of Trump.

Your post is very fascist. You would make a perfect stateside cult member.
 
Not earth shaking news.
Democrats have held a large margin in urban voting for many, if not most, presidential election.

According to Pew Research Center analysis of the 2024 presidential election,
urban voters favored Kamala Harris by roughly a two-to-one margin, with 65% voting for Harris and 33% for Donald Trump

<yawn> You’re just figuring this out? Wow, what a revelation. What about other urban areas, such as Buffalo, Albany, Westchester County, Schenectady, and Rochester?

As far as Illinois is concerned, you’ve also got Moline-Rock Island, Peoria, Champaign, Bloomington-Normal, Rockford, and St. Clair County, outside of St. Louis, that had Harris taking those areas convincingly. More urban voters.

Is it really any surprise that rural voters got duped again by Trump and what he was selling, while urban voters pretty universally voted for Harris? Because it’s not.

I don't see why this matters. Cities often exist in states.

Do you think that's a flex for Trump? The political divide between the NYC and rural upstate NY is well known. And the same issue happens in other states - for example, Denver and Colorado and Atlanta and Georgia.
It's people who are given the right the vote, not the land.

NY is really not a liberal state. Both upstate and long island are conservative. Four out of the five boroughs determine its “blue”
