a lot of these patterns are long standing
但這些格局很多都由來已久
I thought I can get up with something like unionization in coal
我想著也許和煤礦，工會也有點關系
but here are two counties here they are both outside the coal belt
但這里有2個縣 都位于圖中的煤礦區外
so I can explain some of these coal counties in west Virginia voting for the Democrats
所以煤礦造成的影響可能可以解釋西弗吉尼亞一些地區為何傾向民主黨
it doesn't work in Kentucky
但對肯塔基則無效
so they're outside the coal belt they are both very poor
這2個縣都在煤礦帶以外 他們都很窮
here's a medium household income
這是全國的家庭平均收入情況
and you can see this zone here this is one of the poorest parts of the country
你看到這個地區 幾乎是全國最窮的地區之一
certainly for a wide majority area it is the poorest part of the country
在所有的白人聚居區 它更是屬于極度貧窮的地區
maybe under the Johnson administration there was a lot of money put into Appalachia
也許在約翰遜在任期間 不少資金投入了阿巴拉契亞地區
maybe in some of these counties there were more active programs
也許在這些縣 有一些帶活經濟的計劃
you have to get down to the county level and do the research
你需要到縣里去 做一些調查才能知道
I don't think anyone is doing this kind of work
我想應該沒什么人做過調查
most people don't find this sort of county level
很多人都對這些縣的情況不感興趣
they say 6,000 people in these counties who cares
一個縣才6000人 誰在意
well they are not going to swing in the election but I just find it interesting
他們對選舉結果起不到什么作用 但我覺得當地的情況很有趣
yes
請提問
the Minority Leader of the Senate Mitch McConnell from Kentucky
參議會的少數黨領袖來自肯塔基的麥康奈
he's having a tough race he may not win
正面臨一場艱巨的選舉 他勝算不大
that's an interesting point and it'll be really interesting to see how Kentucky swings
這是個值得關注的事情 看著肯塔基如何轉向民主黨是個有意思的事情
