WASHINGTON (AP) -- Voters who cast ballots in Tuesday's election had a strikingly similar demographic profile to those who voted in 2010 and weren't all that different from those voting in 2006. But how they voted this year was very different from years past.
Exit polls are generally a bad way to measure changes in turnout. In addition to the usual concerns about sampling error in any poll, exit polls could show additional bias on some traits, such as race or population density. That's because the sample of precincts where voters fill out the surveys are chosen based on geography. If this year's exit poll includes more precincts located in an area where a cluster of voters share characteristics, such as race or income, it might overestimate the size of that group. Estimates of characteristics that aren't clustered this way, such as gender, are not subject to this type of bias, because men and women live in all precincts.

I have seen evidence of it. I live in a very mixed community. Many are getting sick of it.
The tribal hold is very strong. Don't ever walk yourself out on a limb.
you mean....the working democrats....they finally got the message
Looks like we have another sleeper.
When you declare war on people because of their skin color don’t be surprised if they stop supporting your cause.
If you’re white, and still vote dem....you’ve got to be a self-hating, disease-minded, rotten-to-the-core suicidal maniac.
How many times does the Dem party have to tell you that they HATE YOU for you to get a clue?
The bigger story is how black voters turned away from the RATS, isn’t it?
We did not know that even more disturbing behavior was in her background. Regardless, she is the quintessential Democrat female I expect
Your spot on. Even white moonbats will be slowly coming to the Republican side. I call it prison rules. Like in prison, people will congregate with others who look like them for survival. The white liberal will realize they would not be getting any special treatment from their minority allies. They will get the same screwing the rest of us are looking at. Thus they will switch to our side for survivals sake.
Not me. Im prison, I’d align with the non-Muslim black guys, and earn my protection using my legal skills (reading letters for them, explaining it so they can understand, filling out forms and applications for them, etc.)
I knew a guy who did hard time but had an education, and he said that’s the best route because most of the inmates may be street smart but are profoundly dumb when it comes to stuff like that. It’s a very valuable skill in the big house - the guy who can understand that kind of stuff is fairly valuable and worth protecting. Just don’t make a big mistake.
I would also start the prison’s a capella group, to show camaraderie.
Our neighbor always votes Democrat.He told my husband he was voting Republican for the first time in this election because of all the race stuff.
It would have been interesting to see what the election results would have been if the commission deciding Officer Wilson’s fate had declared him innocent, and then the rioters destroyed half of the St. Louis area. I think the Obama debacle would have been a lot greater.
The last crumb of my white guilt went away after OJ Simpson got away with killing two whites, and blacks cheered and celebrated in the streets.
I don’t know why any white person would vote for the Democrats. It’s like a black voting for the KKK.
Not only stop supporting their cause! We live in California where there were tons of Mexican names on the ballot this time. I wouldn’t/didn’t vote for 1 of them. Funny thing is when I got home from voting I told hubby that and he laughed and said me either. rofl
They have screwed themselves royal here.
A guy I know is doing life for treason. One of the security officers who had been debriefing the skunk told me the he is what we used to call a “guardhouse lawyer” because he provides a lot of the services that you mentioned to his fellow inmates. He’s already done almost 30 years of that sentence.
There was, however, a swing in the black vote (very easy to move up from 5%, not much downside) and they got a bigger chuck of the Hispanic vote. Those must've been those "White Hispanics" we heard about during the whole Trayvon ordeal.
It’s a living. Evidently there are so few that can do that in USA prisons that you can be useful to the inmates and get protection.
I’ve been told just keep humble(not fearful), help your fellow inmates, do good work, don’t look for trouble, and you’ll at least be physically safe.
On your own, it’s severely dangerous being a white guy in prison.
Not only that, but increasingly the Dems will be unable to shill for Black AND Hispanic votes without those pitches coming into direct conflict with one another.
It’s certainly brought the professional race-baiters out of their holes, which can be a problem. The biggest threat to a con man is other people running the same con. Splits the takings too many ways.
The real problem is going to show up when Black Folks and White Women realize Conservatives don’t intend to eat their children! We just want them to have a job.
