Results over several elections confirm that Republicans win the white working-class vote. Ruy Teixeira, political demographer, turned that idea around – Democrats are losing the white vote. Why? The working-class whites don't associate the Democratic Party with their own economic mobility. It isn't that the Dems aren't trying, it's that making an economic difference is very hard to do.
That leads to an important question which that post didn't ponder. How is it that working-class class whites see the GOP helping their economic mobility? Or are they voting for the GOP for some other reason such as church affiliation or racism?
