Second UChicago Harris / AP-NORC Poll Shows Influence of Past Environment on Suburban Voters

A new UChicago Harris/AP-NORC Poll was recently featured in a major piece by the Associated Press (AP), which discussed political identification trends in rural, urban, and suburban areas. 

"Just 15 percent of suburban Americans say they are independent and do not lean toward a party, compared with 25 percent of urban Americans and 30 percent of rural Americans who call themselves politically independent," the story read. "That divide extends to the White House: 72 percent of ex-urban suburbanites disapprove of President Donald Trump’s performance in office, as do 77 percent of city residents. That compares with the 57 percent of suburbanites who have not previously lived in a city and 54 percent of rural Americans who say they disapprove of the president."
