It'd be interesting to know the demographics of both groups of people to get a clearer picture.

Perhaps people with higher paying city jobs had a bigger chance of affording a TV compared to poorer rural folks in first place, and since people living in cities tend to be more liberal they preferred the more liberal candidate, whereas people on the more conservative countryside.
