It also ranks the states by racism. Surprisingly, North Carolina is only number sixteen. And having never spent much time upstate, I didn’t realize it was racist enough to counter the city and bring New York state to number thirteen. What isn’t surprising, however, is that West Virginia is number one.
he says it’s the racist democrats that didn’t vote for Obama:
The percent motivated by animus is the number of votes lost due to animus divided by the total number of whites who would have supported a Democrat absent prejudice. Section III.B. finds that turnout was unaffected, on average, by prejudice. Thus, the denominator (the percent of whites who would have supported a Democrat, absent prejudice) is the number of whites who supported Obama plus the number of votes lost due to prejudice.
Exit polls suggest 41.7 percent of 2008 voters were white Obama supporters. The percent motivated by animus is estimated between 3 = 6.7 and 5 = 10.7 percent. Between 6.7 and 10.7 percent of white Democrats did not support Obama because he was black.
also you can look up the search data yourself and make your own conclusions. you can read the paper and decide if the algorithm is a good one as well.
‘weather’ included in the search terms
‘weather’ not included in the search terms
obviously stop looking beyond 2007.
