Bush 41 won Broward and West Palm Beach County in Florida that year. (!!) Only black-majority Gadsden County in northern Florida voted against Bush that year in Florida, by a measly 380 votes.
Of course, the exurbs that dominated this year weren't as powerful as they were before.
Bush in 1988 did well in older suburbs, rural areas and even some inner cities (and certainly did better than any Rep candidate has afterwards). This explains his broad state-by-state success, without the large gaps between rural and inner city, older suburb vs. newer suburb that we've seen in the past few elections.
