The suburbs of the 2000s in many cases were still pretty different than the suburbs of today. For example Trump probably wins the 2004 version of Gwinnett by double digits, wins that Orange County as well.


2010 and 2014 were midterm backlashes against Obama so those are misleading and in 2012 Senate Republicans underperformed Romney across the board.

- Suburbs have been moving toward Democrats since at least 2004 1992.

They were obviously never going to all flip at once, but the last 3 decades of politics has seen a wave of suburbs flip with each election. First it was Westchester and Ventura. Then it was Osecola and Bergen. Then it was Fairfax and DuPage. Then it was Gwinnett and Orange. Now it's Maricopa and Williamson.

2000 and 2004 saw a swing in many suburbs back to the GOP though, especially in the sunbelt.
