Lots of chatter about the new Trump coalition based on exit polls. So here’s what the exits say about how his voters compare to 2020. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I feel a little better about GenX but we still suck politically :(

Ist es nicht so, weil Harris ca. 10M Stimmen weniger als Biden bekommen und der gefährliche Clown quasi denselben Wert wie 2020 hat, dass Harris die Wahl verloren und Trump nicht gewonnen hat?

So democrats can grow their white male base by *checks notes* threatening to deport white men.

When the election is decided by half a point in five or six states, that is enough to make the difference.

„A larger chunk were Hispanic, it’s true, but since Hispanic voters make up much less of the electorate in general, the difference is subtle: about 9 percent of his voters then and about 11 percent this year.“

Also interesting to see his average voter age up almost in real-time: it looks very much like the same people four years later, minus a big chunk of energized Biden voters in 2020 who just didn't show up this time.

I might suggest the impact of minorities voting for Trump were heightened because so many races were so close, and a few percentage points mattered.

eddiedolan.bsky.social•110 days ago

That's even more significant then: far larger proportion of the Hispanic vote.

mxhrad.bsky.social•110 days ago

That was enough to make a difference and many more minorities stayed home this time. So these percentages don't tell the whole story.

trump had a lower number of voters, but apparently they looked same. But Harris had a substantial lower number compared to Biden 15 Mio less voters - whom did she loose?

poouliinhanawi.bsky.social•110 days ago

You're using outdated numbers. Trump got more votes than last time and overall turnout is not that much lower.

“• The U.S. will now be run by a white supremacist authoritarian President and a political party that has chosen to accept that brand as its identity;
• There will be real danger for marginalized people in this country…
• The rule of law failed…”

The rule of law failed. Well it is quite an aberration from most of history. Was hoping it was progress of humanity.

What about "don't look at exit polls" but wait for real data?
