The rest of this title is: Inside the Populist Coalition Reshaping American Politics. The authors did a survey of Donald Trump voters after the 2016 election in the rust belt states that went for him--PA, MI, OH, WI & Iowa. They broke out into different sort of categories the maybe surprise voters for Trump. They looked into county data to find counties that had gone for Obama and then switched to Trump. They then found voters they interviewed about their decision to vote for Trump. An interesting read and I started it right after the 2024 election where Trump was elected for a 2nd time. In the 2024 election, to men interesting that he was able to pull more votes from these rural type counties than he did previously. These elections will be studied for years because it seems the parties have shifted from what was previously expected as to who their voters would be. A really interesting read and I think much of what they found still applies in ways to this year's election
There were no copies on PBS so I figured I would post right away and it got requested right away. I will be mailing off later this week.
