How Trump Reshaped the Election Map
Red arrows show how much Donald J. Trump surpassed Mitt Romney in counties across the United States.
Mr. Trump made large gains across rural America, helping to defeat Hillary Clinton and her urban supporters.
His most significant support came from counties in the industrial Midwest where whites without a college education are the majority.
Mrs. Clinton made gains in big metropolitan areas, but she was soundly rejected in smaller cities, especially in the industrial heartland.
Mr. Trump ultimately surpassed 270 electoral votes by flipping several states that President Obama won in 2008 and 2012, including Iowa, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
