Gabe contributes to analysis of Republican primaries, CityLab reports
Todd Gabe, an economics professor at the University of Maine, was mentioned in a CityLab article written by Richard Florida, co-founder and editor at large of CityLab and a senior editor at The Atlantic. Florida wrote the article based on his analysis of the geography of this year’s Republican primaries, which he conducted with a team of political, demographic and economic researchers. The research examines the key economic and demographic characteristics of the counties that voted for each of the three remaining GOP candidates — Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich — as well as Marco Rubio, who exited the race last month, according to the article. David Wasserman of The Cook Political Report shared his dataset of Republican primary votes by county. Gabe then matched Wasserman’s primary voting data to data on the economics and demographics of counties, and ran the correlation analysis, the article states.
