Not exactly. In MS, it's almost entirely on racial lines with little overlap (61% White, 37% Black). If UT voted the same way, it would be literally 90%+ GOP (94% White, 1% Black). They voted 72% for Dubya to Kerry's 26%. Of course, there was one county in UT that voted 90% for Dubya to 10% for Kerry (Rich County, a rural county bordering on Wyoming). I guess that's as close to heaven on Earth as you can get for Republicans. ;-D
I have never looked that up....I had Freepers lecture me back in 2004 that whites in Utah voted more for Bush than in Mississippi....they lied....those dogs
is there any state more Utah than Utah besides Mississippi?
btw....blacks used to be 38% in my home state...has it goen down and why?
Assuming that blacks were 35% of MS voters in 2004 (which is a fair estimate, since blacks are 37% of the total MS population but have a higher percentage below age 18 and a higher percentage of felons and other non-voters than do whites) and that they gave President Bush 10% of the vote in 2004, that means that non-black voters in MS (almost all of whom are white Anglos) gave President Bush 85% of the vote in 2004. No other group in any other state gave President Bush such a high percentage of the vote (unless you count small sub-groups, such as the Dutch in Iowa and Michigan or Cubans in South Florida, or white Anglos in West Texas but not in Texas as a whole).
