Yellow areas - 90% of whites voted for Romney |
Southern Whites’ Loyalty to G.O.P. Nearing That of Blacks to Democrats - NYTimes.com:
by David Leonhardt
"While white Southerners have been voting Republican for decades, the hugeness of the gap was new. Mr. Obama often lost more than 40 percent of Al Gore’s support among white voters south of the historically significant line of the Missouri Compromise. Two centuries later, Southern politics are deeply polarized along racial lines. It is no exaggeration to suggest that in these states the Democrats have become the party of African Americans and that the Republicans are the party of whites."
