Breakdown of demographics reveals how black voters swept Obama into White House
UK TELEGRAPH ^ | NOVEMBER 5, 2008 | Claire Cohen

Posted on 10/04/2011 1:02:52 PM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

(Note: this was published the day after Hussein fooled the electorate into voting for him, the day after John McLame finished his inept campaign for the White House.)

Yesterday, 140 million Americans - a staggering 65% of the registered electorate - cast their votes to make Barack Obama the 44th president of the United States of America. Here we show how the results break down... Black Americans

95% of black voters went to the ballot for Obama and only 4% for McCain.

Obama has succeeded in mobilising African-American voters who, although strongly Democratic, have in the past been apathetic in turning out to vote.

Yesterday's surge in black voters, however, only boosted black turnout by two percentage points from 11% to 13%. As in previous years, more black women turned out than men.

Very interesting to me that Hussein lost white women by 7 points. I did not know that.

I also wonder how much of this "day after" polling data held up as valid...I assume it is REASONABLY accurate, and I provide it so we conservative activists can see where we can concentrate our powers of persuasion.

I know it is nice to think Hussein will lose on his own, but every person we can convince to vote for the Republican is a vote against Hussein.

Also interesting to see Hussein fooled 49% of the men...the highest for any Demonrat operative since Carter...no Democrat since Carter had fooled more than 38% of the male voters.

Hussein got 71% of the first time voters--damn sad. Also sad to see 54% of Catholics voted for Hussein, the most pro-abortion clown to every occupy the Oval Office.

I dont believe the democrats would win any presidential elections, and far fewer other elections, without a monolithic black vote. That’s why they go crazy to discredit black republicans, etc.

Another stand out statistic: “53% of voters who earned $200,000 or more in 2007 voted for Obama.”

Suckers! I wonder what they are thinking now that they are the number 1 target of Obama and his class warfare.

Because the democrats would lose the white vote somewhat, in fact they do every time, and the solid black vote makes up the difference for them.

The bigger picture is black Americans have been radicalized by the democrats as part of this vote getting arrangement, so blacks hold far more extreme left wing views than the rest of the population. That’s really not good but then we haven’t exactly been making our society healthy, have we?

Whites

55% of white votes went to McCain including the notoriously hard-to-win white working class vote, but Obama stunned many by taking an impressive 43% of total white votes, cutting the Republican lead compared with 2004.

Hispanics

66% of Hispanic voters turned out for Obama - the best ever result for a Democrat.

McCain only took 31% of the Hispanic vote, despite courting them heavily in his campaign.

Obama used techniques such as Spanish-language adverts to win the Hispanic voters over, many of whom had grown disgruntled with the Bush administration.

Women

56% of the female vote went to Obama, exceeding the usual Democrat advantage.

Many consider that Obama's appeal to women has been key to his electoral victory, while McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate, failed to help him secure the support of America's women.

It should be noted that while Obama won the female vote overall, he lost the battle over white women by 7 points.

Men

The male vote was essentially tied with 49% voting for Obama, thus evening the score on the male-heavy Republican advantage in 2004.

41% of white males voted for Obama, making him the first Democrat since Jimmy Carter to take more than 38% in this category.

Under- 30's

66% of under-30's showed their support for Obama - far higher than in any previous election - compared to 31% for McCain.

A staggering 54% of young white voters also went for Obama.

Overall, this also helped Obama secure a high number of first time voters; 71% of whom voted Democrat.

McCain only managed to secure 29% of first-time voters, compared to 53% for John Kerry in 2004.

Obama's youth - at 47 he is one of the youngest ever presidents - appealed to and energised many of those who were voting for the first time.

Catholics

Nearly 25 per cent of U.S. adults - about 30 million - are Catholic and 54 per cent of them voted for pro-abortion Obama as opposed to 46 per cent for McCain. Observers say the economy became the key issue for many Catholic Americans, which, along with issues such as the Iraq War and health care, eclipsed abortion.

Asians

63% of Asian voters went to the ballot for Obama and 34% for McCain

Jews

78% of the Jewish vote went to Obama. Jewish support - which made up 2% of the overall electorate - has, in recent years, been overwhelmingly Democrat; with Al Gore receiving 79% in 2000 and John Kerry 74% in 2004.

Suburban/Rural voters

Were split 50-50. A key area in Bush's victory four years ago, suburban voters make up half of the total American electorate. McCain also lost ground on rural voters, with the votes split 51-47 in his favour

Single voters

Obama won this category by a landslide, with 66% of single voters going to the ballot for him, compared to only 32% for McCain.

Married voters

51% of married voters supported McCain and 47% voted for Obama. This was a drop from 2004 for McCain compared with Bush's 15 point lead in 2004.

Senior Citizens

51% of over- 65's voted for McCain - including veterans - and made up 16% of the entire electorate. They were therefore not dissimilar in influence to the under- 30's on the overall result

High earners

53% of voters who earned $200,000 or more in 2007 voted for Obama.

McCain - who was expected to triumph amongst the wealthy, succeeded in polling only 45% of these voters. 73% of white evangelicals backed McCain and 25% backed Obama.

This was a boost of 4 points for the Democrats from 2004, who traditionally struggle in rural areas, where many of this category live.

84% of Democrats who intially voted for Hillary Clinton in the primaries voted for Obamas

If McCain was in a national election against a white far-right candidate he would get 2% of the black vote.

If McCain was in a national election against ZombiExtron from the Planet Ieatbrownpeeple, McCain would get, maybe, 3% of the black vote.

After all we have seen 0 do to the citizens of America, including blacks and the history that democRATS have of limiting blacks ability to enhance their lives, there could be only one reason blacks would vote for 0 again.

They want to stay on the proverbial plantation. IMHO Key words... 'would vote for 0 again'.

I find it gratifying that 4% of blacks voted for McCain.

They are the ones who obviously voted principle and not race.

Also sad to see 54% of Catholics voted for Hussein, the most pro-abortion clown to every occupy the Oval Office.

That's largely due to Mexicans and Puerto Ricans.

McCain was a poor choice as a candidate. He ran a poor campaign.

Now hold on just one minute! FOUR percent of blacks voted for McCain in 2008?!! That can’t be right.

Anywho, if this article is accurate, it wasn’t blacks that got O elected, it was jews, catholics and minorities in general.

“They want to stay on the proverbial plantation.”

Democrats, liberals, unions and the MSM have forged the chains of the black community’s despair and dependency.

BUT the black community willingly shackled themselves with those chains, and continues to be totally committed to remain in those chains, while blaming everybody else for their enslavement.

I have no pity for anybody that willingly allows themself to be duped by the empty promise of hope and change. And thus, I turn a deaf ear and blind eye to their complaints, assertions and demands.

In other words, PISS OFF! They can break the chains that keep them in despair but refuse to do so because it would go against their urban dogma. I don’t shed tears for idiots and fools.

As they say in AA: The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results every time.
