In reply to the discussion: How did 55% of white women vote for Dump? [View all]58Sunliner
(4,381 posts)68. Having looked at total voting, @ 67%, accounting for race, your assertion is inaccurate.
Given that whites are @72% of eligible voters, 72% of 67% would be 48.2% and half of that female would be 24%. Total eligible voters-100%, 72% of 100%-72%-half are women-36%. Statistically-approximately 12% of white women did not vote.
So if you want to assert that 55% of WW who voted, voted for DT based on exit polling data and phone calls, which have not been proven accurate, feel free.

I don't trust exit polling because they don't show how they get their numbers, or where.

They are willing to ignore their own oppression if they can keep their racism.

Stupidity has no gender bias. That said, an even higher percentage of white men did the same. nt

Everyone attacks exit polls when it doesn't give them a number they agree with.
