And once again, we see Obama under-performing in the Appalachian Eastern region of the state.
Clinton leads Obama 70%-18%
This is also a good chance to explain what I mean by "under-performing."
Obama is -29% for the state of Kentucky. That is, he trails Hillary Clinton by 29 points (58%HC-29%BO).
Obama is -52% in Appalachian Kentucky. That is, he trails Hillary Clinton by 52 points (70%HC- 18%BO)
So, since he trails by 29% across the state, but 52% in Appalachian Kentucky, I would say that Obama "under-performs" in Appalachian Kentucky by 23%. That is, he trails an additional 23 points in Appalachia compared to his performance across the state.

Great data. Remember to organize and explain it well in your presentation and in your paper.
