NY exit polls show huge race gap, Sanders only won white men
4/19/16 9:40pm by John Aravosis

Now that Hillary has won the New York primary, CNN has published its exit polling for the New York primary today, and it’s devastating to Bernie Sanders’ attempt to shake off the perception that he’s the candidate of young white people.

In fact, CNN’s data shows that it is in fact unfair to call Sanders the candidate of white people. He’s the candidate of white men.

Hillary Clinton won every other demographic, including white women, black men, black women and latino women. (CNN didn’t have data for latino men.)

1. They're not in charge anymore.

Thanks workin'~

4. That's right especially in the democratic party

The Obama coalition rules and you can't get the nomination on the strength of white men alone any more.

8. Yes, the angry old white men will fade away.

11. AMEN and AMEN!! The looks like a very similar reaction to what happened in South Africa...

... after the political power shift. Polarization and then coming together

2. No wonder some of his supporters seem misogynistic

7. "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Is the Hand That Rules the World"

...is a poem by William Ross Wallace that praises motherhood as the preeminent force for change in the world.

5. I would suspect its a lot of young white men who

empathize with a grumpy grand dad figure....

6. Yes but...

... As one Bernie supporter put it in another thread, if it weren't for women and POC, Bernie would have won in a landslide.

12. so if it weren't for voters he'd win?

That's rich. lol.

[quickesst]

14. Pretty much...

... What the poster was saying. They got roasted pretty good about it too, even buy some Bernie supporters.

9. As an aside, unless I'm going nuts...

the exit poll numbers in the article differ from what's on the CNN website. (The trends in the article are still the same.)

Here's one example:


It shows white women voted 56% to 44% for HRC. The article shows them voting for her at 50% to 49%, which doesn't really make any sense in liberal NY.

10. Team Used Car (Devine Weaver) wasn't paying any attention to the 2008 election at all

13. Well, that is reflected in the progressive white men who trash Hillary all the time

I have noticed that the most obnoxious and vehement Bernie supporters are white men, most of whom would not have their lives destroyed if the Rethugs swept in the fall. They could continue being "ideologically pure" and "right on the issues" as the safety net is shredded, women's rights disappear in a frenzy over the preciousness of the fetus, and the safety and salaries of workers is depressed.

The people who live in the real world are behind Hillary.
