During the 2016 presidential campaign, many observers wondered exactly what motivated voters most: Was it income? Authoritarianism? Racial attitudes?
Let the analyses begin. Last week, the widely respected 2016 American National Election Study was released, sending political scientists into a flurry of data modeling and chart making.
The ANES has been conducted since 1948, at first through in-person surveys, and now also online, with about 1,200 nationally representative respondents answering some questions for about 80 minutes. This incredibly rich, publicly funded data source allows us to put elections into historical perspective, examining how much each factor affected the vote in 2016 compared with other recent elections.

typical lying horse crap from this rag, Washington compost.

Should be called ANUS.
Since 1948 ?
Never heard of it.
I voted against the white lady. I guess I’m a racist.
Racism = I stop reading there. Means nothing.
Coulda been general orneriness and hatred of children...
Nothing but a smelly old turd of a report. BS in BS out!
Projection.
Saw this in 2008. People who voted for Obama because he’s black accused us of voting against him because he’s black. It was pretty comical.
Projection, ad-hominem and deflection are the main weapons of the left. It is their MO.
As a Hispanic, I’m engaged in self-hate, and voted for Trump.
I voted for Trump and didn’t even know I was racist, but now, from all indications, I’m a self-hating loathsome racist.
Hey, Trump, where are your taxi turns?
Just when you think the MSM can’t get any lower...
When all else fails, racism, sexism, homophobia or xenophobia get trotted out. These are the talking points of the uninformed and the passive of mind.
People in a bunch of states who voted for Barack Hussein Obama twice are suddenly "racists" because they didn't vote for a broken-down old white witch? LOL.
Obama sucked
Hillary sucks more
Washington DC sucks
Politicians suck
It is that simple
70% of whites voting for white presidential candidate = racism
95% of blacks voting for black presidential candidate = a-okay
What a ridiculous piece. He arbitrarily chooses 3 factors and leaves out the most important ones. What a joke
1,200 “nationally representative”? So who decides what is nationally representative or is it just 1,200 folks?
2018 and 2020 elections are looking better all the time for the Rs as Ds continue their “we didn’t attack voters enough” strategy. Nobody is paying attention to the few Ds who have a clue why they lost.
