The Reality of 2011 Voter Turnout: The White Voter

The largest divergence among conservative and liberal polling critics this election is the debate over who will actually show up at the voting booth this November. Differences between the amounts of Democrats versus Republicans included in the poll are frequent. But embedded in each of these assumptions are questions on the racial make-up and how that varies from election to election. Democrats consistently talk about the “coalition of the ascendant” where the fastest growing segments of the population are minorities. As such they make up an ever-increasing segment of the voting population but also vote overwhelmingly in favor of Democrats. With a shrinking white population and a growing minority population Democrats argue demography as destiny and count on political majorities for the coming generation. That may be true if everything in life moves in a straight line (it doesn’t) but is that true today?

Very interesting article and comments! I think the best evidence that Obama is not doing as well as the MSM would have us believe is where he is spending his time in the last few valuable weeks of campaigning. He practically lives in Ohio and Iowa these days. As skeptical as I am about the media, even I have been amazed at the brazen way they are trying to depress the Republican turnout with these polls that over sample Democrats and under sample not just Republicans, but Independents. They are desperately trying to cover for Obama by ignoring the outrageous things that he has been saying lately while plastering any little mistake by Mitt on the front page above the fold. Only those who are completely clueless or in the tank for Obama already could fail to notice it.

You can easily see why the Democrats are trying to suppress the white vote by the use of skewed polls. The participation percentages presented in many of these polls is the very best Democrat case, what they desire the turn out to be.

It probably will not go down this way.
