It's really the fault of Congress.
As the stock market skyrocketed expecting great 2017 legislation, repealing Obamacare etc.
But the Republicans did not pass such legislation.
Does anyone have the Cook Party Senate ratings for 2016?
@Den I think those can be looked up on Ballotpedia
This is the closest thing I could find
https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_Senate_elections,_2016
They rated the Wisconsin race as "slightly D" when the R won
They rated Ohio a toss-up when Portman won by 20 points
Wow
new data: where Trump's base is concentrated by state
@Red Storm (in NYC)
battleground states where Trump's base (WWC) is most prominent (percent of population):
1.) West Virginia (65.8%)
2.) Montana (58.0%)
3.) North Dakota (57.2%)
4.) Missouri (53.5%)
5.) Ohio (52.2%)
Ohio is based
Ohio is the largest of al those
Trump's base
Are those pluses and minuses in comparison to Romney in 2012
it's the margin of how Trump performed among these groups in 2016
the percentage represents the total amount of these groups among voters, right?
so whites are 71% of voters, then?
correct
if whites continue to have this high of turnout, then that has to count for something, right?
well, we've got to make that happen, then
whites have always turned out more in the midterms than minorities
are there any stats for that, that could be interesting.
say no more, fam
compared w/ the presidential elections though
Well, that doesn't seem to be a good way of telling, white turnout among their own demographic is one thing, having data for whites among all voters, and their results in both the midterms and presidential would be what I'm looking for
in any case, this is interesting stuff, whites will always be the major demographic group in these elections
if we can get enough of the minority vote, maybe we'll be fine
oh you mean data that shows what percentage white voters composed of the electorate during midterms?
we'll never win the minority vote, but having 30-40% would be great
yeah that's what I meant
ok
while i look, here's one for racial composition by state during 2016,
>FL: Hispanics 15% of electorate
Damn
