In reply to the discussion: We lost (some of) the black men, the Hispanics, the youth and the first time voters. [View all]andym
(6,066 posts)35. Outside of Latinos and first-time voters, your summaries are incorrect for black men and youth using NBC exit polls
You should include actual data in your OP.
Using this data source:
https://www.nbcwashington.com/decision-2024/2024-voter-turnout-election-demographics-trump-harris/3762138/
Did you use a different one?
Black Men 19% for Trump 2020, 20% 2024 -- 1% change is not significant at ALL
Youth 18-29: 36% for Trump in 2020, 42% in 2024--- 6% change is somewhat significant, but most 55% still voted Harris (down from 60%). First time voters may actually overlap with this category.
You are correct with these groups:
First-time voters:
Trump went from 32 in 2020 to 54% in 2024 -- a gain of 22% VERY significant. The question is why? Youth or Elon Musk's outreach?
Hispanics:
Trump went from 32 to 45%-- a gain of 13% also VERY significant.Why?

Harris working hard isn't in doubt. Her short campaign is also not why she lost.

most demographics tilted right... and yes too early to precisely make the post-mortem.
