For Obama - women, minorities, youth and low-income voters.
94% of African Americans are ready to vote for Barack Obama, and 0% for Romney. And not just because Obama is not white—African Americans traditionally do not like Republicans. Twice as many Latinos support Obama as Romney (60% to 30%). Every year the Latin American electorate becomes more valuable: in 2010 they made up 14.2% of the population, by 2011 - already16.7% .
The sympathies of young Americans under 35 are also on Obama's side. True, in these elections there will be only 58% of young people, whereas four years ago there were 20% more of them. 53% of women are on Obama's side: Romney is scaring off progressive Americans with his negative attitude towards abortion. Obama is also a confident leader among Americans with low incomes (up to 24 thousand dollars a year). | For Romney - white men, provincials, elderly and rich.
Romney has 53% of white men on his side (Obama has only 40%). Romney has already come under fire for only featuring white Americans in his ads. The Republican candidate is more trusted by residents of the American outback (47% to 38%), those whom Obama calls “religion and gun lovers.” Romney's electorate also includes people over 60 ( 49% to 41% ). Sociologists explain their love for Republicans by conservative sentiments and fear of change. The rich (those with annual incomes above $100,000) also vote for Romney. |
