Arkansas was one of a few states to get more Republican in the 2020 Election. However, it’s not all red. This thread will examine the state’s five biggest cities, and how they voted in 2020. Image
Little Rock is the state capital, and Biden won it by 40%. It’s growth is slow, and it’s a very diverse city, with whites only having a narrow plurality. Unlike other diverse cities, though, Little Rock swung left a decent amount. Image
Fayetteville is only very narrowly the second largest city in Arkansas. It’s very white, but Biden won it by nearly 30% because it is a booming college town. Biden improved on Hillary’s win by almost 10%. Image
Fort Smith used to be the second largest city in Arkansas, but it’s slow growth was overtaken by Fayetteville’s large growth. And even though Fort Smith swung 5% left, Trump still won it by 18.2%. Like much of western Arkansas, it’s got a large Hispanic population. Image
Springdale is the fourth largest city, and is in close proximity to Fayetteville. Democrats have made massive gains here recently, with Biden losing it by 11.9% and swinging it 10.8% his direction. It is almost as diverse as Little Rock, with it being majority-minority. Image
Jonesboro has been growing fast, but it’s still Trump’s best city on this list. It’s got a decent-sized black population as well, but Trump still won by over 20%. It only swung Biden’s direction by a couple points. Image
