Here’s another exit poll, this one with a hypothetical Hillary Clinton-John McCain match-up. The results are slightly disturbing in what they suggest about race relations in America (look at the last item).
Perhaps the mythical black-brown divide exists for a very small minority of Latino voters. Or maybe they just really like Hillary Clinton.
From CBS News:
- 52 percent of voters said they would have voted for Clinton; 41 percent would have voted for McCain, wider than Obama’s 7-point margin over McCain. Interestingly, 16 percent of McCain voters said they would have voted for Clinton, the Democrat, if she had been her party’s nominee.
- 84 percent of them were white – higher than the electorate at large. 12 percent were Hispanic, compared to 9% of the total electorate.
- 21 percent of McCain voters who would have supported Clinton said race was factor in their vote. 19 percent of McCain voters overall said race was factor in their vote.
