Places With High Opioid Use Favored Trump in 2016, Study SaysBy Adam K. RaymondShareShareTweetPin ItComment Photo: Luke Sharrett/Bloomberg via Getty Images Areas where opioid use is disproportionately high were more likely to favor Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, a new study published this week finds. Researchers from the University of Texas found that nearly 60 percent of the vote went to Trump in U.S. counties with an above average rate of opioid prescriptions in 2015. Counties with a below average rate of opioids, which include drugs such as OxyContin and Vicodin, saw about 39 percent of people vote for Trump. Published in JAMA Network Open, the study looked not at illicit opioid use, but at prescriptions administered to Medicare Part D enrollees.
