Revenge of the white men
Victims of the ‘he-cession’ are turning against the Democrats, and that could sway the November elections.


White men have moved away from Obama as well. The same proportion of white women approve of him — 46%, according to Gallup — as voted for him in 2008. But only 38% of white men approve of the president, which means that millions of white men who voted for Obama have now lost faith in him.

The migration of white men from the Democratic Party was evident in the election of Republican Scott Brown in Massachusetts. His opponent won 52% of white women. But white men favored Brown by a 60%-to-38% margin, according to Fabrizio, McLaughlin & Associates polling. Once again, Democrats could not win enough other votes to compensate for the white male gap.
