"And if exit polls are to be believed, several voting blocs comprised of white and older Americans contributed to his success."
"While whites continued to favor the Republican candidate in 2020—as they have in every presidential election since 1968—it is notable that this margin was reduced from 20% to 17% nationally. At the same time, the Democratic margins for each of the major nonwhite groups was somewhat reduced."
"Moreover, in key battleground states, white female college graduates generally registered greater support for Biden in 2020 than they did for Hillary Clinton in 2016."
"Take Arizona. It is a state that has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1996. While rapidly diversifying, its older white population has leaned heavily toward Republicans. This time was different; white college graduate women and men flipped sharply toward Democrats, from 2016 Republican advantages of 2% and 12%, respectively, to 2020 Democratic advantages of 15% and 3%."
So, what's the deal? Why did the "White Vote" favor Biden in this election?
It didn't. Read your own quote.
As for why the margin got slightly smaller, Millenials are growing as a % of the electorate and tend to be Democrat. Pretty simple.
I suppose that the pandemic played a large factor. President Trump downplayed it from the beginning, we then had audio tapes of how he knew this was a serious situation back in February, but still maintained the virus would be gone by Easter (or whatever date popped into his head at the time). All the while the pandemic kept growing. Now, we are facing 2,000 deaths per day (60,000 per month at this rate), a million new cases every five days, and all around the country hospital beds are becoming scarce.
I am still amazed that Mr. Trump got as many votes as he did. I guess repetitive lying works.
Have you listened to Trump and read his tweets? Take the media out of it completely, just listen to him. Why anyone votes for him at all is the mystery.
Covid and his response to it. 'Slow the testing down" and "inject disinfectant" were really bad. Then saying that we were rounding the curve when cases are increasing exponentially. He should have been telling vulnerable people to isolate like his advisor Scot Atlas. I though he would turn things around when he hired Atlas.
Repetitive lying does work. The media and democrats have been lying 4 years. How else would China Joe and cameltoe even have been competitive?
The artificial hatred built through 24/7 lies about President Trump tricked those blind followers of the democrat doctrine to vote against the best interests of themselves and the country, that is the result of repetitive lying.
As Joseph Goebbles said, when you lie make it a big one. Keep repeating it and it becomes the truth.
Just IMO as an independent suburban woman who graduated college many many years ago, we need normal. Someone who doesn't tweet conspiracy theories or make fun of others or lie constantly. Someone who will be a president for ALL Americans & not just his base.
Many of us didn't vote FOR Biden but against Trump.
This rings true for many. .dissing covid without a plan was the cherry on top.
Whites in their right minds don’t vote democrat. Whites that vote democrat are fools.
This. The ONLY time I EVER voted for a democrat was for a sheriff candidate and that was only because the guy running on the republican ticket was a corrupt POS. He won but I sure wasn't vote for him. NEVER voted democrat otherwise, I won't of course until I am dead and buried.

Biden was more popular than Hillary, or OBAMA... Let that sink in...to reality. You buying it?
