A must read: Disaggregating Clinton’s Support Among Minority Voters -exploring racial differences
As reported by our partners at NBC, a majority of Americans (65 percent) are concerned about worsening race relations, and this does not differ based on race; people of all races are united in thinking that race relations are getting worse. Race relations will certainly be a factor in this election cycle, with both candidates calling the other racist and making the case that they are better for minority voters. Trump called Clinton a bigot and suggested that Democrats rely on minority votes while not solving their problems, while Clinton gave a speech connecting Donald Trump to white supremacist movements.
In this post, Ill be looking at data from our Election Tracking poll of over 91,000 registered voters over the month of August. I am a PhD student at UC Irvine studying politics, racism, bias, and decision-making, and Im assisting with election polling while interning with the research team at SurveyMonkey. Ill be exploring racial differences in candidate preferences in more depth, since the large sample allows more fine-grained analysis of the large, diverse electorate.
