Almost All of America's Failed Cities are Democrat Cities

In city after city where Democrats already have been in charge politically for an extended period of time, we find exceedingly high-indeed, often colossal-levels of crime and poverty that degrade the quality of life for the people who reside there.

The following chart shows the 50 cities that have the highest violent crime rates in the United States and: have a population of 25,000 or more; are governed by mayors who are clearly identifiable as either Democrats or Republicans; and have either a "Mayor-Council" form of government, a "Council-Manager" form of government, or a Hybrid of the two.

Now let us turn our attention to the political leadership of the large U.S. cities with the highest poverty rates in the nation.

These are cities that: have populations of at least 200,000; are governed by mayors who are clearly identifiable as either Democrats or Republicans; and have either a "Mayor-Council" form of government, a "Council-Manager" form of government, or a Hybrid of the two.

Of the 50 cities in this list, 41 have Democratic mayors, and just 9 have Republican mayors.

Any cities on NeighborhoodScout's "Most Dangerous" list that are currently led by mayors who identify politically as "Independent," "Nonpartisan," "Bipartisan," or "Other"-rather than as either "Democratic" or "Republican"-are not included on our list.

Though Lansing's city races are officially considered nonpartisan, Mayor Andy Schor is a career Democrat.
