Yes, find a map of polling down to the county level on any political issue, and this becomes very clear. Counties with major cities in red states are bright blue, and rural counties in blue states are bright red. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_states_and_blue_states#Urban_versus_rural https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_states_and_blue_states#Urb... As an aside, that Wikipedia article describes the interesting history of the "red state" and "blue state" terminology which apparently wasn't in usage until the 2000 Presidential election, because broadcast networks previously used the colors interchangeably (even intentionally so, to avoid favoritism).
