The best thing about elections — if you are a numbers nerd like me — is the massive amount of raw data about the American public and what/how/why they think what they do. Yes, only 36 percent-ish of eligible voters cast ballots 15 days ago, but that still amounts to almost 77 million people voting — a pretty great sample to sort through.
That’s what I spent my morning doing, sifting through the national exit poll in search of clues about the present state of the American electorate. The seven numbers that jumped out at me are below. CONT.
