Trump secured victories in the key swing states of North Carolina, Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. He also won the national popular vote. The new tool allows the user to select for gender, race, income, education, age, community type (urban, rural or suburban), and voting preference in 2020 and 2024… The interactive tool was developed with data from the Civic Health and Institutions Project (CHIP50), a 50-state survey effort that polls Americans on opinions and behaviors. About 40,000 people indicated their vote preference in surveys from 2020. Another 40,000 people who report they are eligible to vote and either plan to do so or — in some cases, have voted early — responded with their choice for president over the recent two-month survey period. The interactive tool shows some interesting shifts in the electorate. For instance, younger African Americans with a high school education or less shifted 20 points toward Donald Trump between 2020 and 2024, according to the tool, with the Republican nominee tripling his vote share among the demographic..”
