Regional Voting Patterns, 1964-2008

[12th Doctor]

Is Arkansas generally considered to be part of the Deep South? I've usually just seen it defined as the line of states from South Carolina to Louisiana.

Obviously southern Arkansas could well be considered part of this region, but most people probably wouldn't say that Wal-Mart's headquarters is in the Deep South.

But keep up the good work!

I was thinking about that as well, but, if you think about it, Arkansas has tended to vote with Alabama and Mississippi more often than Tennessee or Virginia.

I mean, you have to go back further than this to really see the trend, but chances are, if there is any break in the Southern vote, Arkansas is breaking for the Deep South and not the Upper South.
