Reply #47: No other demographic goes 80-91% for Obama in 41 of 42 states (NY, he won 61-37) [View All]

To expect NC to be any different is nonsense being promoted by folks who are setting the bar to a level they know Clinton cannot clear due to this. There is no state where Obama loses blacks. He lost Arkansas in a landslide yet still got the same black support he does everywhere. This is a very unique phenomenon. Obama's support among his other groups, youth, and affluent voters fluctuates by state (as has the voting pattern of every other group. There are trends of groups tending to favor a candidate but nothing like a group voting 80-91% in 41 of 42 states for the same candidate). He usually wins them but sometimes he doesn't. For instance in PA he is losing young voters and about tied with affluent voters. The key difference is he has never gotten 80-91% of the youth or affluent vote, aside from perhaps the Idaho caucus where he won 79% overall. In a primary? Never anywhere close to it.
