Biden won 95% of counties with Whole Foods but no Cracker Barrel, and just 18% of counties with a Cracker Barrel but no Whole Foods

From Gabriel T. Rubin of The WSJ.

"WHOLE FOODS-CRACKER BARREL GAP reached its highest level in the 2020 election. Biden won 85% of counties that have a Whole Foods Market and just 32% of counties with a Cracker Barrel, according to Dave Wasserman of the Cook Political Report. Whole Foods counties tend to be higher income and located in metropolitan areas, while Cracker Barrels tend to be in more rural areas. The smallest gap since Whole Foods emerged as a national chain was in 1992, when Bill Clinton won 60% of Whole Foods counties and 40% of Cracker Barrel counties. Counties that have both stores are included in both categories. Biden won 95% of counties with Whole Foods but no Cracker Barrel, and just 18% of counties with a Cracker Barrel but no Whole Foods."

this is quite interesting but it does make sense. i can see upscale neighborhoods voting for Trump as that is the lifestyle that he represents. Rural areas seem to be a bit more conservative, so i could see how Trump would win that support. Looks like upscale whole foods areas are the neo liberals

So it seems like the richer people voted for Biden and not Trump? Maybe. I think that is what exit polls showed by I am not sure
