Nationally, though, it was 60+ percent. marmar Nov 2020 #36

It's unclear to me how you arrived at that conclusion... NurseJackie Nov 2020 #16

We don't ignore it. The mistake though was in the naming "defund the police" WTF?????? Statistical Nov 2020 #17

No one, not even moderates on the left, were saying ignore it. Drunken Irishman Nov 2020 #21

as if that did not male voting for trump worng? DonCoquixote Nov 2020 #6

No, polling would've no doubt shown this nearly 3 months ago (link inside) uponit7771 Nov 2020 #51

This data is skewed-does not account for mail in /absentee ballots. apcalc Nov 2020 #3

I agree with you Etherealoc1 Nov 2020 #9

Are they really going only by election day exit polling? Crunchy Frog Nov 2020 #10

Exit polls DO account for early votes. Drunken Irishman Nov 2020 #22

How do they know who to call? PLUS I never answer calls. Most people don't. apcalc Nov 2020 #33

Look, I think some didn't want the first woman in the Rice4VP Nov 2020 #23

No, these are women who are just racists and don't like Hillary either JI7 Nov 2020 #41

According to research: betsuni Nov 2020 #55

I'm pretty sure those women are Republican anyway LeftInTX Nov 2020 #37

Yes, this is true and not for Hillary either JI7 Nov 2020 #40

Fun Fact: shanti Nov 2020 #45

I believe most of those white women were Republicans. 42bambi Nov 2020 #47

I suspect that many or most of these women are treated as chattel... NurseJackie Nov 2020 #19

White (repug) voter stats tend to be exacerbated by the South and the Heartland states..... marmar Nov 2020 #27

we have no idea at all if those stats are accurate dsc Nov 2020 #28

I do agree with some of the demographics likely not being as accurate Drunken Irishman Nov 2020 #32

Campaigns have access to scores, surveys, spouses and voting history etc LeftInTX Nov 2020 #30

Either way, Trump's purpose to divide us worked. Too many factors came into play among 42bambi Nov 2020 #43
