According to our poll, which found Clinton ahead by three points (46%-43%), Clinton is crushing Trump among registered voters in urban areas (58%-33%), while Trump is ahead of Clinton by an even bigger margin in rural areas (60%-29%). The suburb vote is split, 44%-44%. This divide is even more pronounced using the county-by-county work by our colleague Dante Chinni. When Chinni plugged the NBC/WSJ poll into his county-level breakdown, he found that Clinton is already matching Obama's 2012 performance in the Big Cities and the Urban Suburbs, and Trump is surpassing Mitt Romney's '12 performance in Rural America.   Click for more.
