Understanding White Polarization in the 2016 Vote for President: The Sobering Role of Racism and Sexism
BRIAN F. SCHAFFNER, MATTHEW MACWILLIAMS, and Tatishe Nteta examine the extent to which economic insecurity, racism, and sexism were important factors in determining vote choices in the 2016 American presidential election. They find that racism and sexism were particularly strong predictors of vote choice in 2016, while economic insecurity was much less important.
