Education
• Education is correlated with income.
• There once was a linear relationship with voting Republican
• Many cross-cutting factors at play- for one everybody has a High School Degree!

Religion in America
• Americans are very religious in affiliation and action
• Religion has changed in America– More Religions
– More Politically Active Religions
![Page 15: Why People vote Suffering through Suffrage. Clearly Stated Learning Objectives Examine the 2008 Election in the broader context of American electoral](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f215503460f94c39d04/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Identification vs. Behavior
• Being a member of a Religion is not an accurate predictor of vote choice
• Religious activity is a much better predictor

REGIONIt is not what it used to be
![Page 22: Why People vote Suffering through Suffrage. Clearly Stated Learning Objectives Examine the 2008 Election in the broader context of American electoral](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f215503460f94c39d04/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Solid South
• A key component of the Roosevelt coalition– 11 states of the Confederacy Provided• 52% of necessary votes for Wilson in 1916• 47% of the necessary votes for victory in 1932• 31% of Kennedy’s vote in 1960• 43.7% for Jimmy Carter in 1976
– Crucial for Opportunity Costs for Democratic Candidates
![Page 23: Why People vote Suffering through Suffrage. Clearly Stated Learning Objectives Examine the 2008 Election in the broader context of American electoral](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f215503460f94c39d04/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why the South Used to be more important
• Shared the characteristics of an important group– Large– Reliable
• The GOP Southern Strategy changes this
![Page 24: Why People vote Suffering through Suffrage. Clearly Stated Learning Objectives Examine the 2008 Election in the broader context of American electoral](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f215503460f94c39d04/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Shift in the South
• 56.6% of Bush’s necessary votes in 2008
• Only 1 Non-southern Democratic Candidate from 1948-2008 won election
• Obama Mobilizes African American Voters in large states (FL, NC, VA)
![Page 25: Why People vote Suffering through Suffrage. Clearly Stated Learning Objectives Examine the 2008 Election in the broader context of American electoral](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f215503460f94c39d04/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Why Region is not as Important
• Mobility
• National exposure of the Media
• Region is an intervening variable, as primary factors really push vote
![Page 26: Why People vote Suffering through Suffrage. Clearly Stated Learning Objectives Examine the 2008 Election in the broader context of American electoral](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f215503460f94c39d04/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
