here you go Johnny, as far as my "facts" I could do more research and create a graph, but I am 100% certain that "city" = "urban" and that a graph of this data would correlate with the graph of Democratic support.

Discussions of welfare reform almost always begin—and sometimes end—by citing the remarkable halving of the national welfare caseload since 1994. Much less frequently noted is that the decline in the caseload has not been uniform nationwide. Most strikingly, the decline has been slowest in the nation's urban areas. As a result, the welfare rolls have increasingly concentrated in the cities. Today nearly 60 percent of all welfare cases can be found in 89 large urban counties.
