I am trying to pinpoint exactly whether Hurricane Sandy swung the White Non Hispanic Vote in NJ to Obama.
Did Obama's way of handling the Hurricane response increase his share of the Non Hispanic White vote in NJ?
Can Obama's swings in Ocean County and Bergen County be attributed to increased Minority turnout and depressed white turnout ? Remember McCain picked off a few of the Southern Bergen County towns in 2008.
I am intrigued especially by Hudson County. McCain got 26 percent there in 2008 compared to the 21 percent Romney got in Hudson in 2012. Can this be attributed to higher minority participation and a low white turnout or to a combined White and Minority high turnout?
Remember, Hurricane Sandy hit mostly Republican White areas.
