Clay County: Barack Obama

Barack Obama: The president is unpopular in Kentucky. In its mountainous east, his name is radioactive. In Clay County, for example, he won only 15 per cent of the vote to Mitt Romneys 84 per cent in 2012. Even Democrats have doubts: In the states primary that year, 42 per cent of them chose uncommitted rather than vote for Barack Obama, according to The Chronicle Herald.
