...After narrowly losing in 1989 to Democrat David Dinkins, the city’s first black mayor, Giuliani beat Dinkins four years later on the strength of a strong vote from conservative whites and Jews from the city’s outer boroughs, but with a paltry 5 percent of the black vote.
He maintained his support within his base constituencies Tuesday, but exit polling revealed he quadrupled his support among blacks, to 19 percent. Among blacks who said they voted for Dinkins in 1993, one in seven supported Giuliani on Tuesday.
He also appeared to have picked up slightly among Hispanics, among whom he won four of 10 votes in 1993...

Rudy saved New York, he was a disaster to democrats, that is anyone who looks like a change agent is demonized in the press, Christie, Trump, Palin, Walker etc
Anyone who comes along as a change agent. Gotta protect those government contracts at all costs, the Hunter Bidens might have to go find real jobs otherwise.
19% there...
That is huge.
Such a shame that Rudy is loudly booed now, at least by SNL audiences.
The left has tremendous hate for him, really they only hate Trump more.
Plus sympathy for his high cholesterol level... /Seinfeld
He’s booed by kids who were not yet born when he was Mayor and haven’t a clue how effective he was as Mayor.
Best mayor that crummy city ever had and that’s the thanks he gets.
Ancient history. The 90s might as well be the 1950s to a whole generation of Americans.
Many of the people who elected Rudy are dead. “Socially conservative whites” (read: Archie Bunker/Tony Manteria) are no longer as large a part of the population and have been replaced by new immigrants.

They’re brainwashed. Some of us remember when two THOUSAND murders a year in NYC were the norm.
Puts me in mind of the National WWII Museum in N’Orleans. It’s a big place, a couple of large buildings. The name would tell you what kind of exhibits, very understandably, dominated it.One smallish exhibit it did have was a nice kitchen circa 1940, and it also had a vintage soda fountain. But what struck me was the need for a concept of time reversal which would not attempt merely to suddenly drop you back in 1940, but would in some way give an appreciation of all the legions of inventions/entrepreneurships which have transformed the world of 1940 to the world of today.
In general I think that history as a subject should give an appreciation of technological transformations. IMHO, for example, nobody can really understand “the media” without reference to the transformation wrought by the telegraph. But young people who have no experience of life before the smartphone can’t really be plopped down into 1940 with no concept of the problems which occupied the engineers and scientists who created the computer in that era.
But maybe I’m an engineer . . .
But seriously, your perspective of the kitchen of 1940 really only lacks the microwave oven and the paper towel dispenser and the electric can opener unless you consider that not everyone had the latest 1940 appliances. People were still cooking on wood burning stoves, the use of which could not rely on calibrated temperature knobs but on your ability to get the right amount of the wood in the stove and the right amount of draft . . .
He was booed at Yankee Stadium! Just about broke my heart. The ignorant, ungrateful twits.
Good thing he is a tough character and went on to do even more for us.
