Urban/Suburban/Rural breakdown of 1988-2008 election

Found this image pretty interesting when thinking of past elections, who was running and whether there was an incumbent candidate or not. What struck me as most interesting is even with a plummeting approval rating during the 2004 election, Bush had a marginal increase of support from suburban homes yet an extremely significant increase in urban homes.

Aside from being a complete clown, I think it had to do with Kerry appearing elitist.

Also, with more and more people moving to Urban areas, the trends shown seem to not have a bright outlook for Republicans
