The 2016 Election Saw Pronounced Differences Between Rural and Urban

The 2016 election saw pronounced differences between rural and urban voters, with the latter strongly favoring Clinton, and the former overwhelmingly favoring Trump.Well into 2018, polls showed rural voters favoring Trump by 10 points more on average than urban and suburban voters.Some analysts, in response, pointed to cultural differences between these voters as a reason for the split, while others pointed to economic decline in rural America as a more pointed explanation.Does this fit with past explanations for a rural-urban split in public opinion?

A) Yes, economic self-interest and cultural differences were previously seen as explanations for the split.
B) No, in the past, only a stronger support for agricultural subsidies was seen as the reason for rural differences.
C) No, in the past, most wealthier city and suburban voters still voted more Republican, while rural voters tended to be more Democratic.
D) No, residential segregation was said to be more behind rural differences in years past.
