Election 2004: The Urban Legend


Did you know Bush had 2 million less votes in the rural sector in 2004 than 2000?

Did you know that rural America contributed 16% of total votes in 2004 but 23% in 2000?

Surely you knew that the "big city" voting segment was up 66% in turnout in 2004 and that Bush went from 26% in 2000 to 39% share in 2004?

Bet you didn't know Bush took election 2004 on the basis of gains in the "big cities" (over 500,000)?

That would make Bush the first president to get reelected who lost his base (rural America) and gained in his opponents base (the big cities).

All based on public data, no math degree required -- a true "urban legend."
