Reply #27: The Only Assumption That Can Be Made From Those Figures

[NashVegas]

In California, for example, is that twice as many of the people who admitted race was a factor in their decision voted for Clinton, over people who admitted race was a factor and voted for Obama.


The exit polls don't give us the breakdowns, by race, of people who said race mattered. Not that I've seen, anyway.

On edit -

Do you even look at the figures in the states where Obama won, where such data exists?

In Georgia, where Obama won, 27% of voters - over 1/4 - stated that race was a factor. 216k votes. Of those, 155k (72%) went to Obama.

In CT, 15% of voters said race was important. Of those, there was a 56% / 41% split FOR Obama.

In Delaware, where Obama won, of the 18% who said race was important, 59% went to Obama.

While it can certainly be said there were people voting against Obama because he's black, it can equally be said there are people who are voting for him for that same reason and it, too, is a factor.
