Who did police vote for in 2012?

Romney infamously said, “He says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It's time for us to cut back on government and help the American people.”

[Suburbia]

Probably 50-50 split.....

I don't think a lot of police officers would have an affinity for Mitt Romney.

[H. Ross Peron]

Lean Romney (rural police, white cops in the South etc. voted Romney for overwhelming margins) but Obama was at least competitive with urban cops outside the South.

[Vice President Christian Man]

I'd say there's a strong regional split between Western/Southern cops for Romney and Midwestern/Northeastern cops for Obama. As Bronz mentioned, Romney was not a "cop" or "law & order candidate" and had little to offer to them. His primary demographic were businessmen/women.

Probably 60-40 to 65-35 Romney. Law enforcement has always been a conservative voting demographic
