As the political scientist Larry Bartels points out, in the 1952 presidential election 40 percent of non-Southern white men voted Democratic; in 2004, that figure was virtually unchanged, at 39 percent.

so 60% non-southern white men DIDN'T vote democratic ?
What's your point ?
I believe Krugman read Bartels report wrong.

he must have gotten something amazingly wrong, since Kerry didn't win many states in the north, or south, by 60+% to 40-%. Since white males would be expected to be the leading demographic in either region, these guys ought to lose their licenses for political analysis. Amazing for a guy on the economics faculty of one of the best universities in the country. Michael Barone ought to take him on on this one and deal him a lesson.
