72%
Percentage of the white portion of the electorate in yesterday’s election, with Obama winning just 39% of that vote, though he carried 93% of black voters (13% of the electorate), 71% of Latinos (10%), and 73% of Asians (3%). Despite the predictions that youth turnout would be down, voters 18-29 made up 19% of the voting population — up from 18% four years ago — and Obama took 60% of that group.
