Arkansas: Did Obama win Fayetteville?

[TDAS04]

I would guess so, but I'm not sure.  Obama lost Washington county by 16%.  I'm pretty sure he lost Springdale, but the college town of Fayetteville is supposed to be a liberal oasis in the region.  However, I'm not certain that Obama even carried Fayetteville because it is mostly white and still Arkansas, and in 2008, even the state's young voters swung against Obama.  This is not an Obama-loving state, obviously.

He won it 52-43. Not much enthusiasm for either candidate, as turnout was only about 40% and third parties got 5%.

Thank you.

I also just found out that Fayetteville was also one of three Arkansas cities outside of the Delta region that Obama carried in 2008, along with Little Rock and Eureka Springs.  I guess those are the three liberal dots in the state.

Obama actually won several other towns in Arkansas outside of the Delta. He won Malvern (or at least he did in 2012; I assume he therefore won it in 2008 as well). He also won Arkadelphia, which has a university in it. He won the tiny, heavily-black town of Menifee (in Conway County, near Morrillton). He won Prescott, which is 45% black. Also, besides Little Rock, he also won North Little Rock and I believe Jacksonville as well. He probably won some others as well; it depends on how the Delta is defined.

The source that I had read must have been wrong, since there must be a few other areas with large black populations that would vote for Obama.  Anyway, Little Rock, Fayetteville, and Eureka Springs are probably as socially liberal as Arkansas gets.
