In 1996 Clinton against Dole
1996年克林頓對陣多爾
Again you can see some similar patterns but notice how Clinton now is dominating in the North-east
再次看到幾近相同的選情分布，值得注意的是克林頓當時在東北部區域已取得壓倒性勝利
including most of the counties in New York most of the counties in Michigan as well
包括紐約州的大部分縣及密歇根的大部分縣
Not doing very well in Indiana, in the south it's very scattered
在印第安納州戰績不理想，在南部的支持縣很分散
Democrats doing very poorly in the Great Plains
在大平原地區的選票更是少得可憐
but Democrats doing much better in the west places like Colorado and certainly in the Pacific Coast
但民主黨在一些西部區域如科羅拉多州及一些太平洋沿岸區域的支持有了很大提高
Then in 2000 with Al Gore again a drop of Democratic support. At the county level
2000年戈爾代表民主黨參選，民主黨支持率又遭遇下滑，從縣級選情
you can see in the places like New York counties moving in the Republican direction
可以看到部分地區，如紐約州一些縣轉而傾向共和黨
Same thing in Michigan and in Wisconsin
在密歇根和威斯康辛也有相同情況
We can see more of a sort of narrowing of the Democratic terrain
還有其他區域類似的轉變縮小了泛藍區域的范圍及優勢
And then 2004, pretty similar map, that's interesting, you can switch back and forth to some of these maps
而后在2004年，我們看到一幅很相似的地圖，有趣的是，來回對比這兩年的地圖
and notice there is not much difference in the county level between these two
你會發現這兩屆大選在縣級選情上幾近相似
and that's not true in any of the others
但這種情況在其他對比中并不常見
Any of the others we go back between 1996 and 2000
其他任意兩年的對比如96和00年間
You can see big differences, if we go back between 1988 and 1992, we can see big differences but 2000 and 2004 not much change
選情發生了很大的變化，在例如對比1988和1992年,我們也會發現明顯區別，但2000年和04年的選情卻近乎不變
George Bush getting higher percentage in these really conservative areas
喬治·布什在一些保守地區獲得了比00年更高的支持率
like Nebraska, many parts of Kansas and Utah but the county level pretty similar
如內布拉斯加，堪薩斯和猶他部分地區，但縣級選情卻十分相似
so it's certainly something I'm gonna be watching very closely, it's to see what happens now
所以稍后我們會對這個問題做更深入研究并分析現在的選情
