What were the largest cities to support Bernie Sanders in his 2016 presidential campaign? Moreover, what were the largest metropolitan areas he won overall?

Seattle? Sanders swept every CD there IIRC.

Can't find exact numbers right now, but a rough estimate based on election maps I've seen:

Seattle (in the caucus, but probably not the primary), Denver, Portland, Austin (?), Madison, Minneapolis

Chicago? Obvious reasons, though I cant find numbers for the Chicago MSA.

Seattle and Minneapolis are a good bet for 2nd and 3rd largest MSAs to vote for Obama. Detroit probably would have been second but Obama wasnt on the MI ballot and Hillary got lots of votes that were useless except in claiming a huge popular vote lead.

UPDATE: sorry, I totally zoned out on the subject. Ignore this message.

This thread is about Sanders, not Obama.  Hillary beat Sanders in Chicago proper, and in Cook County.

Austin and Portland were probably the largest cities Sanders carried, if we only count primaries.

*Bump* (Apologies to the moderators)

If we are going by 2019 estimates, the top 10 largest cities (New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, and San Jose) all went for Hillary, I assume (looking at the county map). I do have the numbers for NYC, LA, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Diego and San Jose. It’s possible that Bernie may have won Phoenix and San Antonio since he did relatively well with Hispanics/Latinos (namely the younger ones). If anyone has the actual numbers for those other cities, feel free to share it with us! Smiley  

1. New York City: Clinton 63.32% - Sanders 26.68%
2. Los Angeles: Clinton 53.45% - Sanders 45.59% - Others 0.96%
3. Chicago: Clinton 53.50% - Sanders 45.15% - Others 1.35%
6. Philadelphia: Clinton 62.59% - Sanders 36.98% - Others 0.43%
8. San Diego: Clinton 51.74% - Sanders 47.70% - Others 0.56%
10. San Jose: Clinton 55.91% - Sanders 43.38% - Others 0.71%

Moving into the next tier (11-20): Austin, Jacksonville, Fort Worth, Columbus, Charlotte, San Francisco, Indianapolis, Seattle, Denver, Washington D.C. I would assume just by looking at the county maps that Sanders won Austin and Seattle, and we know that he won Denver, so Austin appears to be the largest city in the country that he won, followed by Seattle and Denver.

In the third tier, we have Boston, El Paso, Nashville, Detroit, Oklahoma City, Portland (Ore.), Las Vegas, Memphis, Louisville and Baltimore.
21. Boston: Clinton 57.35% - Sanders 41.44% - Others 1.21%
24. Detroit: Clinton 72.81% - Sanders 26.08% - Others 1.11%
30. Baltimore: Clinton 65.26% - Sanders 31.44% - Others 3.29%
Again, just by glancing at the primary county map, I’m assuming Hillary won all of these with the exception of Portland since Sanders won Multnomah County.

Fourth tier: Milwaukee, Albuquerque, Tucson, Fresno, Mesa, Sacramento, Atlanta, Kansas City (Mo.), Colorado Springs, Omaha.
31. Milwaukee: Clinton 52.97% - Sanders 46.74% - Others 0.29%
34. Fresno: Clinton 55.37% - Sanders 43.62% - Others 1.01%
36. Sacramento: Clinton 55.06% - Sanders 44.20% - Others 0.75%
38. Kansas City, MO: Clinton 56.14% - Sanders 43.33% - Others 0.53%
I’m completely unsure of how the Arizona cities voted; assuming Sanders won Albuquerque since he won Bernalillo County and that Hillary won Atlanta. Colorado Springs and Omaha were probably also won by Sanders if I had to take a guess.

Fifth tier: Raleigh, Miami, Long Beach, Virginia Beach, Oakland, Minneapolis, Tulsa, Tampa, Arlington (Texas), and New Orleans.
43. Long Beach, CA: Clinton 50.84% - Sanders 48.17% - Others 0.99%
44. Virginia Beach: Clinton 63.04% - Sanders 36.60% - Others 0.36%
45: Oakland: Sanders 50.65% - Clinton 49.03% - Others 0.32%
50: New Orleans: Clinton 74.71% - Sanders 24.08% - Others 1.21%

I’ll stop there. So (assuming I’m right) the largest cities to vote for Bernie were Austin, Seattle, Denver, Portland, Albuquerque, [Tucson/Mesa?] [Colorado Springs/Omaha?], Oakland, Minneapolis, [Tulsa? The county was really close which leads me to believe that Hillary maybe narrowly carried the city proper and Sanders offset this squeaker with larger margins in the more suburban/rural parts of the county, but then again, I don’t have the actual numbers].
