Describe a Nixon 1960/Biden 2020 voter

[Blow by blow, the passion dies]

Elderly liberal Republican?

Or an elderly African-American as Nixon got 30% of the African-American vote.  Even Martin Luther King Jr voted for him.  However since 1964, GOP has never gotten more than 13% of the African-American vote. 

Another is an older person in California as West Coast back then was solidly GOP unlike now.

The bolded is not true, MLK and even his lifelong Republican father endorsed JFK after he helped him get out of a Georgia jail.

Social liberal fiscal conservative former republicans and centre right african americans.

[Sir Mohamed]

A college-educated New Englander who's in the upper middle class. Was a typical moderate/liberal Republican back in the day and later on became a Dem. Occasionally still votes GOP at the state level for Phil Scott/Charlie Baker types. Is socially liberal, economically moderate and not a frequent church goer.

If George H. W. Bush had lived just a couple more years, he probably would have been one.

Eisenhower/Obama overlay.

 
gray -- did not vote in 1952 or 1956
white -- Eisenhower twice, Obama twice
deep blue -- Republican all four elections
light blue -- Republican all but 2012 (I assume that greater Omaha went for Ike twice)
light green -- Eisenhower once, Stevenson once, Obama never
dark green -- Stevenson twice, Obama never
pink -- Stevenson twice, Obama once

No state voted Democratic all four times, so no state is in deep red.

Do you not believe me? Jimmy Carter's one narrow win depended upon getting all but one of the former Secessionist states. Obama won lots of Ford states.


Carter 1976, Obama 2008/2012    

Carter 1976, Obama twice  red
Carter 1976, Obama once pink
Carter 1976, Obama never yellow
Ford 1976, Obama twice white
Ford 1976, Obama once light blue
Ford 1976, Obama never blue
