It is not Urban vs Rural but wealth vs poverty
How can a country be 90% Urban and still have the rural party win almost everything? obviously if you live in lalaland you can divert the issue away from poverty but that is a losing strategy. It is still and will always be rich vs poor in Venezuela.

See the pattern? The richer the state the more likely they voted for the opposition. The only outliers are Monagas (oil wealth) and DC which is as urban as they come, but with not too many rich neighborhoods.
