“Nixon in 72 had a higher percentage of the Jewish vote than any Republican until Reagan, giving him the 2nd highest share of the Jewish vote in the last 50 years.”
A bit off the subject, but IIRC, Nixon in ‘72 also got the highest percentage of the black vote of any Republican Prez candidate of the modern era - something like 20-25%, again IIRC.
Nope. Nixon got over 30% of AA vote in 1960 but by the time of his landslide victort in 72, AA support for Nixon dropped below 14%.
