yep.

here's an interesting opinion piece about that very trend: These are the gatekeepers who let Biden win


Quote:
According to exit polls, suburban voters turned -- and turned out -- against President Donald Trump this year. In 2016, Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the suburbs 49% to 45%.

In Election 2020, Biden outpaced Trump 50% to 48%. As a mirror of the nation, it's not surprising that the two-point gap between the candidates nearly reflected the three-point gap in the national popular vote totals.
