White Democrats in the South

[Stranger in a strange land]

I wonder what national white vote is when you remove the Deep South and Appalachia.

I was wondering the same thing the other day. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Obama won the non-Southern white vote (the South being the 11 former Confederate states + KY & OK)

Me thinks there is a large MoE on these subsamples (LA, wtf).

Louisiana. You know, Jena, Katrina, Gretna, Chocolate City...

but in any case it is disturbing that most white Dems in the Deep South voted for McCain.

How does it compare with white Republicans in New England voting for Obama?

Obama didn't win New England by so much that he would have won Republicans, but since this is an interesting question, here are the results:

NEW ENGLAND WHITE REPUBLICANS

NH: McCain 90% Obama 10%
RI: McCain 89% Obama 10%
CT: McCain 87% Obama 11%
VT: McCain 85% Obama 13%
ME: McCain 84% Obama 15%

MA: non-statistically significant sample
