Considering that at least some of those millions fewer who voted for Obama this time must have voted for his opponent, yes, regular base turnout was lower this time around.

Evangelicals voted in record numbers for Romney. He got more of their votes than McCain or Bush(2004). He got more white votes than McCain. The missing votes in 2012 were white Obama voters from 2008.

We should look at who they are, why they left Obama and why they didn't vote GOP.

So much for the MSM propaganda telling us over and over again that "Evangelicals will NEVER vote for a Mormon"

I think everyone on this board knows former Obama voters who went for Romney this time. Barry’s former voters, who demographically were overwhelmingly white, didn’t all just stay home.

The whites who didn’t vote for Romney were the Reagan republicans. These would be mostly northern working class cultural(not actual church going) catholics
