Exit polls: Obama's winning coalition of women and nonwhites

NEW YORK (WLS) - A coalition of women and nonwhites helped re-elect President Obama to a second term Tuesday night.

Obama has always performed better with women than with men, and with nonwhites than with whites. But on Tuesday night, those numbers were so much in his favor that they built Obama a powerful firewall against a dropoff in support from white men and independent voters.

Nonwhite voters turned out to vote in higher numbers than ever. They made up 21 percent of all voters. In 1996, they were just 10 percent.

That new bloc was evident in Florida, the perennial swing state that was thought to be in Mitt Romney's corner. Hispanics came out in force for Obama, in greater numbers than in 2008 when Obama beat John McCain among Hispanics in Florida 57 to 42 percent. On Tuesday, he beat Romney among Hispanics 60 to 39 percent.

And as the country tinted blue for the second presidential election in a row, it also got a little less white.

Winning coalition of women and nonwhites... and yet Romney got 56% of the white female vote. Hmmmm.

“Romney got 56% of the white female vote.”

I said above I’m sure the “female vote” tendency for Uhbama has more to do with lock-step black women than anything else.

Thanks for validating my postulation.

[Enough is ENOUGH]

I hear Obama won 100% of the fraud vote.

There should be a quick test to qualify at the door of the election station.

“Who are the candidates for XXXX?” in various positions. Some such thing. At least show one has some competence to be allowed to vote - and that can change from election to election.

After, of course, you show 2 IDs that have the same address as the registration list. (LOL, as if any of them have ever made me do that.)

Unfortunately, I dont think we’re going to be able to vote ourselves out of this anymore. Its a matter now of whether we’re going to take the slow dive into socialism, or if this secession movement thing is going to catch on. I’d say for it to work, there has to be a break within the next 20 years, reason being that we still have a conservative majority in the military. If you give the left more than 20 years, they will have successfully “integrated” the military (read: purged conservatives out of) to where we no longer have that advantage.
