clinton performed extraordinarily well throughout the state of kentucky, carrying every county with well over 60 percent of the vote and winning all but two: jefferson county, which contains louisville, and fayette county which contains lexington-fayette. her best performance was in southeast kentucky, located in the heart of appalachia, an area made up of less educated, lower-income, working-class whites. in fact, it was here where clinton received her largest margin of victory in a county nationwide: magoffin county gave clinton 92.98 percent of the vote while obama only received a meager 5.00 percent.
