A new study reveals the real reason Obama voters switched to Trump
A new study shows that this response isnt as powerful as it may seem. The study, from three political scientists from around the country, takes a statistical look at a large sample of Obama-Trump switchers. It finds that these voters tended to score highly on measures of racial hostility and xenophobia and were not especially likely to be suffering economically.
White voters with racially conservative or anti-immigrant attitudes switched votes to Trump at a higher rate than those with more liberal views on these issues, the papers authors write. We find little evidence that economic dislocation and marginality were significantly related to vote switching in 2016.

Biden has 65% of the Latino/Hispanic vote. I'll take it.
