I've outlined the various parts of town with simple boxes. Boxes outlined in white are more working class type neighborhoods, the green box represents the core neighborhoods (of which the capitol district is a part of), and the dark black box represents the Country club area. Everything else is considered more suburban in nature, keeping in mind that it is still the city of Lincoln. There is nothing but corn and soybean fields around the city.
Sbane, Actually the wealthiest part of town is the country club area which Obama won by 20-25 points. The suburban area is your standard Midwest, middle class suburban area: strongly republican but not by ridiculous margins.
First I would like to say welcome to the forum and thank you for your analysis. It is wonderful. It is interesting that even in a relatively small city, Obama was winning among the super wealthy. I guess these are the people rich enough to not care about taxes or they are just super liberal on social issues? Suburban voting patterns make sense though. They are wealthy enough to not depend on government, while at the same time are conservative on social issues due to being more family centered and what not.
