NYT: Pulling Democrats Back to Its the Economy, Stupid

[Yo_Mama]

9. But exit polling seems to show that economics DID matter!!

http://www.cnn.com/election/results/exit-polls

Look at financial situation (better today than four years ago):
Better today: Clinton 72%/Trump 23%
Worse today: Clinton 19%/Trump 77%
About same: Clinton 47%/Trump 45%

Condition of national economy:
Excellent: Clinton 83%/Trump 16%
Good: Clinton 76%/Trump 18%
Not good: Clinton 40%/Trump 53%
Poor: Clinton 15%/Trump 79%

Who would better handle economy:
Clinton: Clinton 95%/Trump 1%
Trump: Clinton 3%/ Trump 94%

Btw, on that last question, 46% of respondents answered Clinton, 48% answered Trump.

It's complete nonsense to say that exit polling showed that economics was not the major issue.

As for immigration, 70% of the voters thought illegal immigrants already working in the US should be offered legal status. Only 41% thought a US wall along the entire Mexican border was a good idea.

As for racism being a factor, 53% of respondents approved of Obama's performance as president, and only 45% disapproved. If he had been running this election, he probably would have won!!!!
