Washington Post saw very little mitigation from 2008 and 2012 as far as Republicans were concerned, so it seems that the actual mitigating factor was the overwhelming turnout of black voters and younger people being allowed to vote this time Fully 96 percent of African Americans supported Jones, similar to President Obamas 95 percent support among this group in 2012. But Jones fared much better than Obama among white voters, garnering 30 percent of their votes, twice the 15 percent who voted for Obama. Jones made particularly large gains among white women and those with college degrees. idk it sounds to me like they are saying what I said about how it was white voters and not black voters that made a difference Yeah, nothing in the exit polls refute what the dude in the OP is saying. More white people voted Dem this time, as opposed to 2008, 2012, and 2016. That the percentage of people voting as young, college bred millennials essentially doubled in the 4 years since the last election cycle, leads me to believe that they were more or less legally unable to vote last time, due to being too young. The young liberal is slowly supplanting the old conservative. It's why I find that the people crowing about 'black victory in Alabama' to be a bit disingenuous, because yes, they did have a strong hand in defeating Roy Moore, but it was far less than the erosion of the Republican base in Alabama, due to myriad of things. --- Face it Cloud is a gaming icon and has appered in lots of games while mario has only appeared in 2 games sunshine and 64~xSlashbomBx <cite>Alucard188 posted [p:892445684] in thanks, wh...
