Frank: I did a little more digging this morning and came up with some more numbers on how labor votes. But first, I just saw the latest Newsweek poll and the numbers are astonishing. (Can it be correct?) The question asked was: Suppose the 2000 election were held today. Who would you vote for? The results in the national survey: Gore 49% Bush 39% Nader 3% Buchanan 1% Individual state polling in Iowa and Vermont was fairly similar to the national results. Anyway, back to the labor vote. This is how labor voted in the last three presidential elections based on exit polling. 1988: 24% of voters interviewed in exit polls said they were from labor households. They voted for Dukakis 56% and Bush 44%. 1992: 19% said they were from labor households. They voted for Clinton 55%, Bush 24% and Perot 21%. 1996: 23% said they were from labor households. They voted for Clinton 59%, Dole 30% and Perot 9%. Bottom line: Only 11 out of 20 people who consider themselves labor regularly vote Democratic, at least in presidential races. Think about that. Have a nice Labor Day holiday.
