Assessing where the red/blue political line lies in swing states
and how it is shifting.Democratic-leaning urban areas in states
that otherwise lean Republican is an increasingly important
phenomenon in American politics, one that will help shape elections
and policy for decades to come. Blue Metros, Red States explores
this phenomenon by analyzing demographic trends, voting patterns,
economic data, and social characteristics of twenty-seven major
metropolitan areas in thirteen swing states-states that will
ultimately decide who is elected president and the party that
controls each chamber of Congress. The book's key finding is a
sharp split between different types of suburbs in swing states.
Close-in suburbs that support denser mixeduse projects and transit
such as light rail mostly vote for Democrats. More distant suburbs
that feature mainly large-lot, single-family detached houses and
lack mass transit often vote for Republicans. The book locates the
red/blue dividing line and assesses the electoral state of play in
every swing state. This red/blue political line is rapidly
shifting, however, as suburbs urbanize and grow more
demographically diverse. Blue Metros, Red States is especially
timely as the 2020 elections draw near.
