The gap between Trump’s America and Clinton’s is getting worse

Written by Teunis Felter

If Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton sometimes seem like they’re talking about two different Americas, there’s a reason: Their voting bases pretty much live in two different Americas. Clinton voters are concentrated in cities, in the nation’s denser and more diverse areas; Trump voters dominate rural areas and America’s wide-open landscapes. While the vast majority of Americans are finally seeing strong income growth is great news, rural America still needs significant help. The justified anxieties of people who live there are going to be an issue for whoever becomes president.
