    rural Dems prefer the Bern.

I don't think thtis would be much of a surprise really. Especially now, after he swept Nebraska and Kansas. His policies definitely cater towards the lower class, but he's had issues connecting with minorities. So, to me, it makes sense that rural voters, being generally of lower income levels than urban voters, would go for Sanders over Clinton.

That's true. He's also more pro-gun ownership than Hillary. That's a pretty sensitive issue in rural Michigan.
