"In a few minutes, we will be served more election returns than we can possibly munch on in one night. But the data nerd (and inner foodie) in me will be eyeing an important indicator: the Whole Foods/Cracker Barrel divide.*
One of the reasons Trump is doing so well is that the Republican Party has lost so much ground in Whole Foods country, the well-educated, large metro suburbs where he is performing the weakest so far. In 2012, President Obama carried 75 percent of counties that now have a Whole Foods Market, compared with Bill Clinton’s 59 percent in the same counties in 1992. But more importantly, Trump is simply kicking ass in Cracker Barrel country."
