1976 CBS exit polls have Ford winning the white southern vote by 6 points.


Exit polls are historically unreliable.


Whether you like exit polls or not, there is no way Carter won the white southern vote in 1976.

Carter did not do well at all with suburban whites, a reliably GOP constituency after 1964. If anything, Carter's results in 1980 should be very telling. Close losses in AL, MS, TN, SC and AR were the result of him utterly crashing with the suburban white vote even though he did well with blacks and most poor whites.

Even though he did well with rural whites basically all across the South, the fact that MS was close and he lost VA should tell you he wasn't winning whites overall, even in 1976. If I had to guess he was winning just under 45% of southern whites that year. Still a very good performance. Imagine Obama or Biden with those kinda numbers. They'd sweep the South too lol
